Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm driving it really gently, its just nice cruising in it and not flooring it. My dad and I have worked hard for this car and as bjs said, the last thing I wanna do is wrap it round a lamp post.
Its no comparison, but driving this car reminds me of driving my BMW when I had it.. its just so easy and requires no effort at all but the power is there when you want it - all you got to do is put your foot down.
I've got the car to drive pretty much whenever I want. We bought it for the both of us to drive but we had trouble finding insurance at a decent price coz i'm under 25. I bought the Golf coz i'm still in uni and the BMW attracted the wrong people plus I wanted to save some of the money from the insurance payout (BMW was stolen).
Hope the weather gets better so that I can put the roof down [
