If you went for the Comp Pack. Although it costs £3.5k you will save £1200 on the 19" polished wheels. Just a thought. |

Yes the comp pack was the way forward but I aren't too fussed on the comp alloys and prefer the 19's. Also the 19's were included as standard on the deal, along with heated leather and media. I also just want to get in and drive the thing, can't be arsed with all the fidding about. Cheers for the heads up though. The car I test deove had EDC and I didn't think I'd use it that much.

I think the DCT is an incredible system...easy peasy when you want, yet incredibly focused when trying to 100% out of the car. |

I think it has it's pros and cons. It's good when in traffic jams or wanting to creep the car into the garage but can catch you off guard sometimes.

bit late to this thread but since new my tyre use has been about 20k for fronts and 10k for rears, I'm on 36k and they've all about 4mm left.
so call it £1200 every 15k, works out at 8p a mile With above tyre wear I usually average around 20-21mpg on the computer, never checked how accurate it is though |

No drone from mine at any speed. In fact it too quiet at any speed. although my newer car is slightly louder than the 2010 I had.
