So I picked my 2009 Bocanegra up yesterday, and after a long day of driving it, my first impression is WOW! 
Super fun car!
My only complaints are it seems a little thirsty when driving flat out, the horn is pathetic and the DSG gearbox makes some clunky noises when uses the paddles sometimes, mostly downshifting to 2nd and 1st. (not sure if this is normal or a problem)
Car drives excellently though, and I really like the cabin noise under acceleration even though I know it's artificial sound, makes me feel like an excited little boy RACECAR! haha
The DSG gearchanges are seamless and allows the car to pull like a train. After having driven an automatic/semi for the first time I think I could safely say I'm a convert now.
I use the manual mode 90% of the time to feel more involved with the driving but put it in "D" for long journeys.
The exterior sound could be a bit more sporty though and match the cabin noise, so I think I'll be looking into getting a catback exhaust fitted soon. Also thinking some white/blue headlight bulbs for bungalow points.
I haven't driven the car in the dry yet because it's been absolutely p*shing it down here recently but after having pushed the car hard in the soaking wet, can say that it has fantastic grip! Only slips out a couple of times but generally keeps the line true.
Will post photo's up when the weather finally cheers up!!
