Depends on use really.
Fully synth fluid needs changing a lot more often from experience. I would tend to change the fluid every few meetings on average if we are talking racing or heavy track work, depending again on the car & the meeting, but bleed them every meeting if it was me.

I don't enjoy driving mine in traffic very much, my partners polo is much more relaxed but then it's a completely different car in purpose terms.
Fuel economy doesn't bother me, I get over 320 to a tank on a bad to average run which is fine to me.
I would say that the cup suspension is very...
