Second that, once the power flap opens at about 5500rpm the engine gets "second wind" and heads for the rev limiter very quickly.

Echo all the above - it is definitely a lot "more" car than the R32 in every way - still feels a bit big & cumbersome vs the Golf but that is a matter of me getting used to it. I did originally think that the power was excessive but I quickly realised I was wrong !
