vRS Carl's New Machine ***Pics Added***
slider955i:
very nice :congrats:
vRS Carl:
John - I'll be getting a Brabus map for it as it's backed by Mercedes so keeps the warranty.
It handles very well for a 1800kg car. It's nice to be able to put the power down too and not worry about modulating the pedal to control wheelspin. The sport mode is great too as it firms up the dampers, changes throttle response and shift point of the gears. On top of all that it's Man Wheel Drive too.
Will do a full review etc later.
Mandy:
Nice choice Carl :congrats:, my guess was close :grin:... I was going to say the C350 CDI but didn't think they made that engine anymore. I considered the C350 myself before getting another Golf, they come quite well specced as standard and look great with the pano roof.
Interested to see what the Brabus tune gives. :party:
Andy:
very nice and good choice Carl
vRS Carl:
Mandy. The Brabus tune will give it around an extra 50bhp and 70lbft. I could hold out and get a map done by a Mercedes specialist for about a 1/3 of the cost with a bit more. But I think I'd prefer to keep the warranty.
