Any one new reading this forum, i dont think would want to purchase a Mk8. Initially i had a few problems, all software related, and i was on the point of rejecting the car. My dealer was really very good and offered a full refund, after just about a month of ownership. I thought i would give it a chance, seeing as there were no new stock vehicles (mine was the last one they had) and the waiting was a minimum of 6 months. My original software was 1666, and seen to throw up problems on a daily basis, and it was famous for saying, please wait, this function is not available at the moment Since its 1668 update, it seems to be fine( fingers crossed--i hope i havent jinxed it now!). Done nearly 2000 miles, and can now say its the best Golf i have ever driven, and i have had lots. Also loving this version of the sat nav. previous models i hated the nav and would use Tom Tom or phone, but this one is a considerable improvement.
Please comment if you are loving yours.
