Hi watercoolers,

Have had my R for three weeks now - its a great bit of gear. Silver paint, 18" silver wheels, dsg, dcc, dsg, nav, mdi, leather, Bluetooth, 5 door. Only 800 km so far so I'm still babying it. Engine note is great. DSG is brilliant and definitely better than in mkv's I've driven. I don't think the amount of lag is much to talk about, and there is plenty of power for me. DCC is definitely worth it, noticeably changes the dynamics of the car.

It seems well screwed together and is the ultimate Q car.

The only thing I would change is make 6th gear a bit taller for freeway cruising, and that is being picky.

Having said all that, there is no way I'm ever going to wait this long for a car again - I'm too impatient and VW need to sort these ridiculously long waits in IMHO.

Cheers
jjj
