Its VERY well specced, however it doesn't have miles to empty which is crazy!

Anthony are you sure you haven't got one of these

Found it in the end :)
Degudodger:
After 1,500 miles / 4 weeks I am starting to regret buying the Merc
Initial thoughts of the C204 were positive, i liked the way it drove if maybe a little sluggish but while i was getting used to the car i overlooked some its flaws.
Performance and handling
- Auto box isn’t that responsive with more lag than I had expected
- MPG is nowhere near what I was hoping to achieve at an average of 42MPG and approximately £30-£40 more a month to fill up.
- The engine is hardly refined and sounds more like skeleton pleasuring himself in a biscuit tin!
- Brakes need upgrading as there are nowhere near as sharpe as the Golf was. Loooooaaaadddssss of brake fade.
Build quality
- Interior – More squeaks than mice in a cheese factory
Entertainment
- Unbelievably bad DAB reception to the point where I have stopped using it.
- Bluetooth integration call menu is needlessly complicated and defaults to sorting by last name/first name
- Command online – Completely pointless
- Maps – cost of updating maps is stupid
Andy:
All not good then..see the merc getting traded back in Anthony
Degudodger:
Hi Andy. The selling garage has offered me a low ball trade in so I might wait until the new year and list it on autotrader. What's really annoying is how although I'm finding the various iterations of the Golf samey I still find they tick most the boxes for me. IF I come back to the VW fold, It will have to be a MK7 GTD in Candy white, it just so happens my local VW dealer has a couple........
Andy:
Love the gtd and in white is perfect.After driving a few cars at work I still think vw has one of the best dsg box's in its group
