It starts winding up after 4k and pulls like crazy to redline. Below that it feels like a nice little torquemobile
Edit: turn off the traction control with the button next to the stop /start. First and second gear will be usable then instead of robbed of power you'll feel a huge difference with it off
Thanks NuffNuff, glad to hear it winds up. Agree with the torquemobile, I'm happy with the torque at low revs as its great for daily use.
Oh yeh I have always kept traction control on, will consider turning it off, it actually doesn't completely turn off right?

Yep, just needs the tint put on. Due to work commitments we won't be picking it up until next Thursday. Our first VW so venturing into uncharted waters.
I think traction control turns off completely at a push of the button. But stability control remains on. I've spun up to forth gear so pretty sure traction control is off
You can go through the screen and do more, but I Donno Wtf the other option does. It resets what you do on the screen if you turn off the car or even push to traction button again
Makes a huge difference turning off by the button through. Spinning through second out of a roundabout is a laugh. Might not be the fastest way out but it's fun as hell. And keeps on steering where you want it
If you are getting your GTI built, would it be possible to pay for the entire Luxury package and keep the standard seats? I want the LED head lights and sunroof, but those faux leather and alcantara seats aren't for me.
Wow black looks awesome. The plastic lip etc integrates better than my white gti. Also gap between wheel and arc is less noticable in black which i like.

I doubt it. VW Australia aren't very flexible with things like that. If they were then we'd be able to pick one of the standard colours that isn't available in Australia.
Ford & Holden used to offer a service where you could option a car any way you wanted (eg: My boss had a 350ci Monaro with a column shift Auto and bench seats because he was insane- those days are gone.
