Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

5 months in and I'm very happy. I was very picky about spec because a big car without a decent engine can be a frustration. I went with the 20" wheels, the area view, head up display, pro nav, Dynaudio (a must if you like your music) and the fully electric seats (who doesn't like a massage bon the way home from work). I also didn't want it to look like a cheap lease. The change of modes with DCC makes a real difference to the drive and throttle response, it allows you to be as relaxed or racy and you need to be. The 4motion system really helps find the grip when you sling it round a corner. Area view is the wow factor option someone even asked me how I could get a satellite view of my car. All in all I'm happy, it looks different it was cheaper than an Audi or BMW equivalent with more options.

How reliable do you find the car?

Only had it 5 months, so far so good. Its pretty much the same Golf R engine so no doubt the thermostat housing will leak at some point.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Coming from a Golf R estate it was always going to be different. I love the room and I love the toys (area view is the option with the biggest wow factoe to passengers). The power delivery is a lot less raw than the golf.
