    Haptic buttons really aren’t a problem. Had mine for a few years, multiple track days. It’s only journalists that seem to have a problem with them.

      I daily a MK7, wife has a 2024 Tiguan that still has the old screen but haptic steering wheel. I also have driven about a half dozen MK8s.
      They don't ruin the car but they are certainly a downgrade over the old buttons. Screen HVAC is a no-go for me from any brand; and I drive/interact with all the premiums regularly. They don't annoy me necessarily, but I have about 10,000 miles in her car (about 40,000 in mine) and I find myself wishing I had my buttons still. I have a few other small gremlins with the UI and missing features such as sunglass holders but, again, these do not ruin the car.

      Exactly. Ask anyone that's actually used the car for longer than a test drive and the buttons are hardly ever an issue. In fact once you learn to operate the car you realise there are added benefits even (in being able to register light taps, hard taps and swipes separately).

      The journalist will complain for anything just for the sake of it and they want the consumers to take their words for it,these people are old cry babies they want to feel important and as if they know better forgetting that consumers don't care about 97 percent of what they complain about and it doesn't even affect and bother the consumers. Most things they like as journalist we hate as the buyers as we choose according to how we feel not how they feel

    5:50 I have never really understood leather seats. The only real reason to get leather in my view is if you have kids and don't want them to stain the seats; that is understandable. Apart from that however a nice cloth seat is just better than a leather seat in my opinion. As mentioned they don't get too hot or cold, they grip you better, and you don't have to maintain them with leather products.

    Needs a thicker rear sway bar, about 1° negative camber and 1° negative caster on the front, and she'd rotate much better.
    Also, Volkswagen GIVE US A STANKIN' MANUAL BACK!!!! I don't care about shifting fractional seconds! If I'm shifting a 6 speed manual that makes 450 horsepower, I don't care how fast your 320 horsepower DSG shifts.

    I'll happily sacrifice a gas hood strut and engine cover that says "TSI" to get heated rear seats, rear climate control, a heated steering wheel and ambient lights that aren't just on the front doors. You have to ignore a lot of upgrades to just focus on the "cost cutting"

      Depends on how important 60 hp, AWD grip, throttle oversteer, active dampers, more dynamic customization, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, etc, is to you? I mean, there’s no way you could duplicate that, aftermarket for $14k but why would you?
      A tuned GTI is fun, no doubt. But you’re not putting all that torque to the ground in turns or anything below 3rd gear anyway.
