it a is new car yes?......as in brand new.....as in not many if any K's on the clock? Then it probably just needs to be run in. The shocks and springs will be stiffer for the first 500klm or so, and the engine will take time to bed. When i tested a newbie at the dealership she idled at 1200 and now sits at 900. Keep in mind that these cars are built in Germany and in essence designed with Autobarns in mind.

Although the 5sp GB does not lend itself to highway speeds, what you are noticing is not at all representitive of the model.

I often get mine up to 100-130 and never experienced any form of oscillation.
