Lovely colour, can't wait to take it for a spin

Colour is a bit of a marmite one, not a fan myself! Mk7 overall is growing on me but the Mk6 is still the best shape IMO.

What engine does it have? The new EA211 TSIs are quite good, nippy and economical.

The main thing about the mk7's that bug me is the line through the boot, same on the a3 and Leon. Other than that, love them.

Yeah I definitely think it's a marmite colour, tungsten silver it's called, it looks a little different in person to what it looks like on the pictures but it won't be to everyones taste, I believe from doing an insurance check on compare the market it's the bluemotion 1.2 tsi 85bhp which sounds sluggish but it's been surprisingly nippy, definitely not a chore to drive at all, I would like a go in a bigger engined well spec'd mk7 because this one's been fun.
