Default Today I leased...

Not to everyones taste I appreciate, not sure if even to mine really, but bang for buck on a lease deal, this was far away the most attractive proposition available at the time.

Test 1. pass.



Initial impressions.

Only driven it the 10 mile home from dealer, but crikey it seems potent. Not stretched past 4k rpm yet, but it seems to have more than enough get up and go. Interestingly, the sales chat said (after I asked the question), it does NOT need running in as such. Said to take it easy for the first 1k, then break it in harder and "drive it like you stole it". I'll not be stretching it's legs for a while yet as it's been a while since I drove anything with any power so as much for me as the car!

Even running in it should be quick.

On PH they are reported to be suffering lots of engine failures in the first couple of thousand miles ! And are targets for theft including some at gun point !,,,

Sorry but that has been reported on the Vag PH forums

I would have zero concern about jacking.. Maybe if you live in Brum/Croydon or somewhere

Htf does chippo know? Is there internet locked in an Audi?

Golf Rs are everywhere - I wouldn't let jacking worry you.
