I'll take a couple of pics of the new car soon... I drove nearly 2400 miles to get home and it's covered in bugs still. Eventually, I'll get a proper day off and post a few pics, after I clean it. lol
My thoughts so far... It's. AWESOME. There are some finicky things I'm still getting used to, but overall, it's a hell of a car. The "Travel Assist" impresses me the most. I drove my mother's Tesla in Novermber, and the autopilot was cool, but it took a lot of the fun out of driving. The level of autonomy in the steering on the Mk8 is perfect for long stretches of slightly curving roads. I can take my hands off the wheel just long enough to open a drink or change the podcast I'm listening to, and I'm not worried that I'll go flying off the road. There are some complaints about the time before it yells at you being too short, but I think it's perfect, since I won't be using it all that often anyway. I LOVE the new leather seats! I swore I'd never get anything but plaid, but these are another level of cool. The infotainment system isn't perfect, but after nearly 40 hours behind the wheel already, my complaints are barely even nit-picks compared to the things I love. I also had the APR stage 1 tune on my Mk6, and this is basically the same right from the factory, so I'll be leaving it stock for the foreseeable future. I drove up the PCH yesterday, and it WAY more than enough power and handling ability to throw it around those curves in a way that I probably shouldn't have. So, yeah... I'm happy again.
