Salmon/Quartz Pink. Looks more beigey/pinkey brown in person.
Interesting choice of colour
I quite like it

It is a good first car to be honest. The colour though....

My new purchase.

The ride is quite hard and my only gripe is the road noise but I suppose that is to be expected with 19" wheels. I have done a little investigating and it would seem that the pirelle p zero's are to blame but I'm loath to move away from them when they have so much tread left.
A lot of peeps over at Audi Sport recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport 3.

Or get smaller wheels

I only speak from experience on that though. I too was getting fed up of road noise and also the cost of replacing low profile tyres every time I had a puncture (which seemed quite a regular occurrence unfortunately). So in true old man fashion I sold my 19s and replaced them with more comfortable 17s. Ha

Pilot Sport 4's are out now and are substantially better.

Size on that yellow rear window wiper
yes.Size on that yellow rear window wiper
i would also recommend PS4's they are great.
Bought two months ago, 08 Edition 30 manual 5 door 2.0 TFSI. Main differences over a stock GTI is the K04 turbo charger which is used in the Audi S3, which is detuned down to 232bhp, so shifts well enough.
Completely standard, not a huge amount of options ticked but has cruise and lux pack. Comes as standard with heated seats, dual climate and rain/light sensors. Has three pilot sport 3 and a V12 hankook which will need to be changed.
Mechanically beautiful and that's the main thing with a special edition, not going to cry over not having a sun roof or xenons. Plan is to retrofit a nice new VW double din head unit and call it that. If i keep it long enough it will be a new clutch and a remap and air intake to 300bhp, would like it to have a switch so can go from economy mode / valet / normal / fun.
Coming from a clio 182 with 150k miles, this certainly feels fresh and tight, love the way it handles and the michelin tires are sensational in the wet!
