The Eagle has landed

[david.stark]

Here it is! Very pleased with it and loving the smart phone mirroring! Also very pleased with the DSG gearbox but I prefer it with the stop/start disabled to avoid hesitation when pulling away. I’ll enable stop/start when I know I’m going to be stopped for more than just a few seconds.

I’ve also been sampling S mode on the gearbox for when I need to pull out quickly and it’s a noticeable difference.

Just waiting for the valeter to arrive now to do the diamondbrite treatment at £300 cheaper than the dealer price!

SE 1.0 TSI Has everything I need, especially with the capability to use my phone for sat nav as I have 20GB of data allowance.

To be fair I can count on one hand how many times I use sat nav per year. Also, I got carpet mats and boot lip protection cover (clear) thrown in for free and purchased a set of rubber mats for autumn and winter usage.

Hi,

Great looking car. Personally I would spend the money on some good quality products to clean and look after the car yourself. After years of experience, I can say hand on heart, Lifeshine, GuardX and Diamondbrite are a complete waste of money.

I use Autoglym HD wax for years, but moved to Swissvax last year after I went to a car show and saw the results with this product. Totally brilliant.

I’ve got HD wax and other cleaning stuff and of course the 2 bucket method but at £100 I was more than happy to go for Diamondbrite treatment as it also includes the interior.

Apparently, unlike polish and wax, diamondbrite and lifeshine withstand traffic film remover.

Dealer wanted £400

Nice car, would be my colour choice also, enjoy....

They say how good "Diamond Bright" is and how long it lasts, that's why when you have it done, they give you a big zippy bag with all their products in, why do you need them, if the original coating suppose to last the time you have the motor.

Just a few remarks

Hi,

Your call and at £100 a lot cheaper than the car wash 16 year old applying the kit at the dealership and charging you £400.

Enjoy the car.

Getting back to the original post, you lucky man David, and it looks very nice, hope your pleased with it after those months waiting

[MilgeS]

Great colour for keeping looking good, enjoy your shiny new motor

[david.stark]

Thanks. I didn’t need to wait for months because I went for a test drive just 10 days ago and purchased it from dealer stock.

The Hankook winter tyres rocked up today as well. Stash them until October or November.
