Hey RocketRod, funny. I might have agreed with you a while ago but enjoy this so called slush box you refer to...far from it :-)

Each to their own.

EDC is great for me. Comfort for daily town work - Normal with the M-button, and Sport for track days (or club drives on good roads) - works for me.

How do you manage that?
I thought I was doing well to bring mine down from 24L/100km to 19

9.7L would have to be mainly freeway driving. I can get mine to about 12-13L/100km on city driving with BPM tune.

Currently:
9km/L if a mix of town and highway.
Better than 10km/L cruising motorway at 100/110kmh/h.

I drive for efficiency when cruising - so that I can use the noise pedal the rest of the time!

Just get the M...
Just not comparable to a normal M-sport badged car. Different car alltogether.
I use it as a daily and love it everyday.
Like all cars, every car has their own problems. Just maintain it regularly and i reckon you'll be fine.

Get the DCT if a daily car and GET THE one with EDC and the 'M' button!!! Especially the 'M' dynamic mode button! It's worth it!
Mine don't have either and regretting it everyday.

Cheers - spoke to my mechanic yesterday and he was very complimentary of their reliability which is always a positive. Just need to get a drive of one.

Once you have a drive of one you will be sold

That's my concern.

I reckon the only must have is a 6 speed manual...
