Well today was the day! I finally went to collect my Candy White that was ordered back in February.
Initial impressions are great:
- The car feels really sturdy, the steering is excellent and I love the flat bottomed steering wheel.
- Engine (TSI 160) is brilliant, very responsive and great on twisty back roads and on the motorway. - I'm looking forward to putting my foot down past the first 1000 and really seeing what it can do.
- Bog standard radio with ipod connectivity is brilliant - easy to use, touch screen is very responsive and I thought that the included cleaning wipes were a nice touch!
The car was ordered from VW West London on the Great West Road. Although the initial sales service was somewhat lacking, this was swiftly addressed leading to a new sales manager, free tank of fuel and a bottle of champagne! If you're thinking of ordering a car from this dealer, make sure you ask to deal with Craig B - he was brilliant.
Just need to get hold of some chrome tail pipes and some led lights for the number plate
Here are a few photos, some are taken alongside my friends MINI:
