So im just over a month into ownership.. wow.. all the wait and had it a month already.. overall love it 
So taking greycoss's post as a guide, heres my findings....
1, Perfect size , roomy inside...seats comfortable, higher view, easy to drive.
2.. 115ps is perfect, nothing more to say
3, Rev camera is a must, great quality picture and drop down mirror a nice touch
4. Active info Recomended although cant quite get it how i want some things double up
5. Ride on 17's is smooth. Higher sidewalls definitely help. Im over low profile tyres.
6. Build quality is vw , interior plastics dont bother me at all compared to the reviews
7. Lots of configurable options through infotainment screen
8. Beats sound is imo good value , but needs a little setting up
9. Infotainment screen needs wping once a week
10. Had the wiper issue, cleared itself within days
11. Have used the sliding rear seats already, very useful
12. Subwoofer in boot so shelf in upper position ,just store shopping bags under the floor to keep boot area tidy
13. Loving app connect and using phone/spotify, so easy
14. Laneassist, took little getting used to. Its fine. Prefer benefit it gives to any inconvienience...
15. Dsg, coming from cvt i find it almost as snooth
16. Love the keyless lock/unlock.
Things ive not figured out yet
1. No matter how smooth i pull away, sometimes it jumps initially.
2. Beats really needed a separate subwooder control like the 'fender' version has
3. An annoying vw thing... the indicators flash in the mirrors. Catches my eye, driver doesent need to see this. I tape mine over.
4. Fuel economy. My last car did fuel mpg by tank. Cant figure vw's out. Im getting mid 30's everywhere and up yo 47 on the easy downhill 6miles to work. Was expecting an average just above 40 but cant find a reading that will show this. Im getting 300 just over on a tank so that suggests better than mid 30's
