While I was driving the car down the showroom ramp my friend discovered a small dent/scratch underneath the front spoiler. We raised a fuss and got a free VW GTI mug for our troubles. The dealership had the car washed before having me sign a few papers, and bid me farewell. Tomorrow a representative will accompany me to the traffic police to make sure the licensing process goes smoothly. I have a full day of driving planned after that
I really don't know how I am going to keep within the constraints of running in - the damn thing accelerates too fast! I've never had a sports car and hardly ever driven any, so the super-responsive accelerator is going to take some getting used to. My first car was a Daewoo Lanos, with 86hp, my second car (which is actually my wife's car) is a Daihatsu Terios with 105hp. This jump to a 160HP Scirocco with its DSG gearbox is a bit of a shock for me - and you guys with your 2 liter TSI's had me worried I would be under-powered!
I will report back with pictures and my driving impressions tomorrow evening. I just talked to my insurance agent and the car should be covered by tomorrow morning too
