Finally received last Friday and must say one week on and still really impressed with the car.

For those of you who are still awaiting delivery, it will be worth your wait :D

Looks very nice! I love the look of white, I'd just never keep it clean enough :)

Looks great, getting mine next week. I know it’s early days but I have a couple of questions, what’s your mpg return and what’s the pick up like any delay in pulling away?.

As you mentioned it is early days, not really done enough miles or taken any reasonable journeys to get an accurate feel for the mpg. The stats currently show the average as 25mpg. As for pick up I have not really noticed any significant issues or lag but then again I do prefer driving in Dynamic rather than Comfort mode.

Thanks for that PJS, the mileage return is pretty much what I’m expecting. I too will be using dynamic mode ,do you have to select it every time you start the car or does it stay once selected, actually same question for all settings?. Thanks again.

Hi Db55, starts in Comfort mode by default which I believe cannot be changed and is most likely due to some emissions or mpg standard as this is referred to in the manual as the cars normal mode and the certification mode for carbon dioxide emissions.
Once you create your individual profile and link to your key then most settings start as you have defined except that is the drive mode.

Fingers crossed i do see you - still haven't seen one outside of a dealership.
Only the 140 days and counting...!

If you see someone following you in a white Scirocco for hours on end don't be too worried :D
