That is so nice JoeGTI! I would have definitely specced that had it been available.

Really nice that Joe. Can't for the life of me work out why VW UK wouldn't have it as an optional extra [scratches head and pulls face].

Because some pleb at VW UK decided to do so.
It annoys me!

For all we know it could well be an option that's incorrectly described or not even on the list at all. We know what VWUK are like for options haha

I would have definitely had the alcantara if it were an option, looks stunning!

EDIT: If only VW's marketing department could see this thread!

Q1: I wonder how many people who stuck with standard cloth would have paid extra for the alcantara/leather/tartan centre option?

Q2: How many who did pay for leather would have chosen the alcantara option had it been available?

I wonder what the differential would be and have VW lost out on extra revenue?!

I briefly considered a 3 series & Bmw uk have adopted this bizarre anti alcantara policy too.

Lovely colour! I think had I chosen a metallic colour I'd have gone for this, really nice.

Limestone grey is a top choice!   Does the rear wiper usually rest in that position? I thought they returned to the normal spot regardless of when the ignition was turned off?

It doesn't return to the "parked" position if you cut the ignition while it's in motion. Stupid. I'm pretty sure it did complete it's sweep in the MK5 and 6.
