In the UK only I assume.

Noteable highlights:

-Lighter overall due to use of alloy &amp; aluminum "which is good"
-Magnetic dampers "which is good"
-Cabin longer &amp; lower "which is also good"

"On paper the car is very good but I want to know about the driving"

"Quite a useful boot, makes it practical day to day car, could be your only car"

-Cool 3D tail lights &amp; TT on filler cap.
-Rear seats are useless as seats (again)

Driving up highest mountain in Austria

-2.0T FWD &amp; V6 Quattro available
-V6 smoother delivery, he's driving 2.0T which he characterizes as a bit more aggressive, like a "hot hatch". Prefers 2.0T over V6
-Explains S-troinc and plays tunes with exhaust using paddle shifters
-50% stiffer than MK1, responds immediately vs. MK1 which has to "think about it" also says "can chuck it in with no fear of death"

In conclusion:

"This is a great car, beautifully made, rewarding to drive, no longer feels girly. Still the most head turning design out there." He'd seriously consider buying one.
