Took delivery of my first VW last Wednesday. Had it tinted yesterday.
The DSG is fantastic, smooth and quick. The engine is a gem.
The interior is very nice.

Could have been Helga. Never named my cars. The name isn't gonna stick. I just did it for fun.
The dealer filled it up with 87 gas. Last night filled it with 91, and the engine is running noticeably smoother.

That looks fantastic inside and out.....congrats man.  Although you'd never catch me driving a bright red car.   ;D

I walked aroung my neighourhood and saw a sea of grey, black and white. I am not fussy about th colour but red definitely stands out and not necessarily in a bad way. Back in 1996 I flew to Cologne Germany and picked up a 1990 Audi 80 in a very similar red colour which I drove home 3,100km. I loved that car with all its 90BHP. The Jetta reminds me of that car.

I just like the red/black colour combinatioin. With the tint all around it's even better.

Congrats. Looks so good in red. I've been tempted to get one myself. Such a good value.

I was actually being very sarcastic as my S2000 and MR2 are both red, and as some members here know, I have a long history of red cars.  It's a wicked colour man, and EXACTLY the one I would get myself.   ;)

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Congrats :thumbup:  Great colour combo. The red looks incredible.

The DSG is fantastic, smooth and quick.

I still love banging off shifts with my DSG. Can only imagine how much nicer the new one is.

And I totally fell for it  ;D
My wife and my 2 daughters still bug me about the colour, I guess that got me a bit on the defensive because of it. I am glad I didn't listen to them, though. My car, and I love it just like that.
My wife can enjoy the Blueprint Highlander when it arrives.

Make sure you park your Highlander in the garage, and store the keys in a Faraday pouch!
