I collected my (wife's) new car on Friday from JCB Ashford. I drove it 50 miles home and yesterday we went out and did about 70 miles between us.
The car was ordered in late January, they found an unallocated one in one of the UK ports. It's recorded as built in week 50. We could have had it early Feb but waited for a 19 plate and it gave time to sell the other car.
I'm very relieved to find so far no hesitation when cold (but it's not very, about 10 degrees), no kangarooing and no flat spots. However it does feel a bit gutless and sluggish compared with my 1.4 Golf DSG (122HP, 2012) and very high geared. I hope it will improve as we get used to it and it loosens up. That was in normal mode. It doesn't compare with the 1.4 (used, manual) I test drove.
The ride seemed very jiggly but I've found today the tyres all at 42psi that may help! I expected them to be Bridgestone but they are Falken which is probably worse, very surprised at that.
I need a plastic securing bolt for the s/s spare I've bought. I thought it would be the same as the Golf one (1K0803899B) but that's too short. Anyone know what other vehicle type will fit or a part number please?
