Where ever the wife tells me
Collected the TDI FR 170, and had the pleasure of driving it 100 miles back home
Trully unbelievable for standard 2.0 ltr diesel!!!!!
Not stopped smilling since :funk:
Only small gripes I have is the 1 flip key and the steering wheel is not exactly in the centre
I drove a couple before buying this one and they were the same!!!!!!
Luckily we have an infra red wireless 4 wheel alignment machine at work so won't be a problem to sort that out


Got up early to go and wash it :D

Nice one, I've never driven any of the new diesels but even if it's only 10% better than my old 150 it's gonna be a cracking car. Many happy miles mate!

I've had mine 6 months now and oevrall I would say it's a good car.......a couple of annoyin things though:

It's noisier than almost all the competition :headhurt:
Fuel economy is only OK :shrug:
Have glow plugs/cold starting problem :think:

But, it does the job it needs to very well :funk:

If you have a non-Bluetooth car there is no light to tell you the cruise is on!

You only get one flip key :(

If I had known before I agreed the deal I would have tried to get an extra one thrown in
