In defence of the Mk8.... its a really good driving car.... it totally is. I even like the looks and the minimalist interior if I am honest.
All it needs is software that works all of the time...
I think most Mk8 owners frustration is because they keep taking it back only to find it doesn't get fixed. It doesn't get fixed because there is no fix yet - my advice, don't waste your time at the dealers until you read on here that its finally fixable.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - my big massive gripe with VW is not that a new product has faults, but its their piss poor handling of that. They aren't being open and honest at all. It will really damage them and no mistake.
Unfortunately what with covid, the semiconductor shortage, B***t, VAG software problems and other things, its a bit of a perfect storm that makes considering a new car somewhat tricky, probably for another year yet too.
