We'll 1500 miles later still gives me a massive grin

Couple of things;

Tyres won't last long with the amount of torque
Auto hand brake is a pain and has mind of its own
Fuel consumption is not great hmmm.....

However I am still stoked with it and it looks waaaaaay better than the mk6- definitely be getting the R next time

did you get it with the performance pack?

therey're starting to become common here now too.

does the MK7 GTI also have start-stop? The combination of start-stop and auto-hand brake really annoyed me on a rental I had a few months ago.

Nice. Spotted a grey one cruise past my window this morning, quite a subtle colour.

and that other hot hatches should be wary in the group test   ;D

Keen to see if one can keep with the Megane RS  :)

Mk7 GTI is good but not that good...

>:D

Yes it does have start stop and I like it but it's annoying sometimes as the steering goes dead as it's electric

Gti's are not common at all here yet as VW are struggling to deliver the numbers required- can only be a good thing for 2nd hand values

Still the best all-round hot hatch.

You can turn off stop-start in the Drive Select thingy.

Limestone grey - I was going to go for carbon grey but it was too dark in the end.

No DRL's just lights the led fogs double as DRL's and the main headlights can have them switched on

Spotted the grey one again this morning, its a neat looking car.

It has the Halogen lights not the Xenon's so the DTRL is the park lights, didn't make much of an impression, I think I would opt for the Xenon's if I was to order one.

I think your speck with the wheels and lower stance looks awesome.
