Didn’t know the strip at the front was an actual working light.

I might be wrong but isn’t that on the GTE only??? I Personally think they got better DTR lights last time too! :shocked:

Didn’t realise the badge did too.

Think the new Golf will be fleecing new customers with the subscription service. Apparently you have to pay every time you open the door via the app.

I’m not averse to the idea.
Obviously hardware will have to be specified at build but frippery electronic add ons are a great idea to be activated if and when you need them.
