No plans for that so far. I am very probably going to keep quite stock. The only that I imagine I might get are Ferodo DS2500, but only if I find the original pads bad.. so will have to see bout that.
Doing my PPF and detailing tomorrow |

Honestly, regretting my choice of DCT a little as I was driving through London today..
I am a bit weird in that I actually prefer manual cars in stop and go situation, but prefer auto on open roads, motorways, etc. I feel less tired in stop and go traffic with a manual car. Hope that I can find DCT’s merit tomorrow on more open roads How’s yours so far? |

I actually enjoyed the DCT in the shite traffic. I nearly went for the manual - I was so so close - but opted for DCT as I haven't been driving manual for 4 years and I just know I can enjoy a car like this on auto. What I liked is the fact I was still using the gear shifter on the DCT with my left hand to manually shift gears instead of using the paddles. It still gave me a feeling of being connected with the car (albeit not using my left leg with a clutch pedal) and I can see myself using this method also on track and enjoying it a lot. Each to their own, right. Still, I am just glad I don't live in London anymore. 15 years was enough and having to put up with traffic like that all the time.....no way!!

Park lane were fairly competitive on M2C quotes when I was looking around, they were actually offering a better deal than Joe Achilles and Schmee’s best pal could do!
In the end going the leasing route and V4Bs deal got my order, but I would certainly get a quote from them in future. |

I find it as fast as VW Group's boxes only in S3, but slower in others.. Granted, it's only day 2 in it so far. All other aspect of the car is good! |

Chipping in I can't compare because my experience with auto are way too outdated but I find mine quite sharp and I'm currently running in comfort all around and as, only 2/3 days in. Could it be that most of the electronics are a bit more limited due to break in?

On the insurance topic I keep hearing Adrian Flux is quite good, however, for me Admiral was the cheapest.
They initially quoted me almost 3.5k for a policy upgrade but then after talking to a manager it turns out that you can cancel your policy for free and and get a new one, total quote about £1200 including 10k worth of aftermarket, comprehensive coverage and full European protection as well, and increased driver protection so all in all, considering I live in zone 2 London not a bad deal at all I'd say |
