Such a nice practical family car!





Got mine, it's awesome - especially the cluster/wheel area. You could tell me it's an 60K car and I'd believe you.

Obviously the other stuff like the center console, glove box, trunk/seat fabric is economy class, but I think it works. There's a hidden 12V plug in the glove box so you can charge your phone/ipod in there.

Break in is rough in that need to keep it under 4k but honestly even under 4 I was zipping around most traffic today. Felt as quick as my chipped 02 1.8T in traffic - with no lag though which is great.

I did cackle out loud on my first open off ramp though. No body roll and the suspension is firm but not harsh at all. They really got it right.

Put both kids seats in, wife and I drove out for dinner, no issues at all. Wouldn't want to do a long road trip as the kids have no window but it will be great for shuttling them around and then having some fun. Neither of us were cramped at all, and getting them in and out wasn't as bad as I though it would be.

Can't wait for autoX!
