RedBora,
For your info I had to wait 10 weeks for the German factory to produce the car – although it did seem more like 100 weeks. Reflex Silver is certainly a highly popular Golf colour in England, but I guess the most common is black. Regarding fuel consumption I have written about this elsewhere on the forum, however my best to date (within 900 miles) has been 60mpg (imperial), with a few trips giving 57 & 56mpg – all according to the onboard computer. Such journeys have been about 50 miles each on the motorway/freeway – cruising most of the time at 70mph with a few extra bursts. I ask you what other car in the world can provide a combination of a good top speed, lots of torque, and great fuel consumption. Answer not many.
Regards
John D
