Finally my car is here. Got it yesterday, 06 plate GT TDI 4motion, 3dr, Diamond Black, Grand Prix alloys and RCD 500 (I think! The in dash changer anyway!).

I've only done about 50 miles in it so far but have to say.....I love it!

Only down sides so far are the brakes could do with more feel and be a bit sharper but I guess they have only done 93 miles so should improve. The steering is a bit lighter and less communicative than my Focus but it doesn’t tramline like that did so it’s a fair compromise.

Just want to get out there and put some miles on it.

Company cars are a tricky one as they generally have final say in what goes on. However, if you control your own insurance, then I'd think that'd be the biggest issue to sort, but if the company control it, then yer fooked I should think.

Shame about not being the 170.

Nearly 4k miles in mine now, has used about half a litre of oil and I get 45-50 mpg on a run sticking at 80 mph with the cruise on. Engine is loosening up, very noticeable mid range when overtaking, quite a Q car.

Do like the seats as well, very comfortable.

I added the 17 inch alloys as well, glad I did, suits the shape much better and sets it apart from the standard GT TDi.

Only regret is not adding Leather, would have made the cabin feel a little more classy, but I think that was a £1500 option, OUCH. Do like the look of the GTi though, maybe that will be my next move if I can learn to live without the 4motion.

Enjoy it, let us know how you feel about the car a few weeks in.
