So that's it 2yrs old now!!!
Still looking as good as ever & loving it! I still look back at it in the carparks as I walk away, as it has the best lines for an estate I have seen in ages. The standard sports suspension is still the right side of the handling/comfort balance for our twisty, potholed backroads, IMHO!!
Would I spec it differently having lived with it for 2yrs now? Yes & No. I might have added DCC just to get the bigger 312mm brakes & the alloy hub carriers which come with it. But that leaves the problem of replacement cost of the DCC dampers when they go wrong! As I intend to keep the car over 10yrs that's a cost I would have to pay which I don't like. So NO I think I spec'd it perfect!
VW on the other hand DID NOT!!..
So expect more modifications using OEM factory parts!!..
