Title: ED35 in Autostadt, Wolfsburg
Post by: JoeGTI on 22 August 2012, 11:31
Hi lads,
Thought you'd be interested in this... I had the pleasure of visiting the VW Autostadt over the weekend in Wolfsburg. Oh my god, it is a fantastic day out, anyone on here would love it !

Anyway, loads and loads of cars on display obviously, and I took a few snaps... here's an ED 35... I really liked the half-leather seats, they were comfy!:

Yeah I thought the seats were lovely. And the leather had the red stitching... nice touch.

The trainers were cool... but could you wear them in public, I wasn't sure  :laugh:

I prefer those seats to full leather in terms of looks and feel of alcantara after having them in the Pirelli

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I think you made the right decision not buying the trainers..... I know my mates would rip in to me if I wore those out down the pub  :laugh:

Easy to find them - they're in the VW lifestyle / accessories shop in Wolfsburg if you fancy a trip over!!

Stunning place.

I can thoroughly recommend to any VW/car fan.

I only hope they allow UK customers to pick up their cars in time for the mk7 GTI.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

Really wished the uk spec had stuck with the alcantara seats too. I've mentioned it before, we should do a convoy trip to Wolfsburg next spring.

Place looks great thanks for tip.

I agree seats look great however I have kids so leather is the best option for durability and ease of cleaning.

GTI trainers would be great for my kids but not for me.
