Which options to opt for???

Ha true I knew I walked into that one.  Anyone got the winter pack, found it useful yet? Does the mk6 come with a heated windsceen? Frost on mine this morning already!

Heated washer jets onto headlights and the heated seats are very nice tho here in North Yorkshire the temperature hasn't got cold enough to really need them yet.  Sadly there is no heated front window as in the Focus but once you get the heater blowing no doubt will soon clear.

i think the whole heated front windscreen is a ford patent and only available on fords.  i could be wrong though

It's optional on the Passat R36

The heated seats are lovely, tried them out a couple of times even though it hasn't been that cold.

Haven't tried anything else yet - I did have a very fogged windscreen one morning, but the heater blowing on it cleared it very quickly.  I'd have liked a heated windscreen, as I used to have one on an XR2 in the early 1990s and it was good.  I don't know why VW won't offer it on the Golf as it seems to be out of patent.

The heated washer jets might do the business though.  Wait till January and I'll tell you.  We get -10C some mornings.  Though having said that Ican now get my car in the garage so things should be better anyway.

I've had heated washer jets on a previous Lupo Sport.  They are good and do indeed work, remember a cold January trip down A74M most drivers were on hard shoulder cleaning windscreens but I could keep driving, only problem is that when the water hits the windscreen it immediately freezes due to the glass temperature.  So the water will come out of the washer jets and will clean the screen, just don't expect it to clean as it would in July!

Yep, same thing used to happen on my Mk2 GTI I do like the idea of heated seats though.

If you get xenons and the winter pack, are you paying for headlamp washers twice?

Is the winter pack not suitably reduced if you have opted for the xenons?

[Rolfe]

It's certainly reduced if you have already opted for the leather seats, because the leather seats are heated as standard.  I'd be very surprised if the same wasn't true of the xenons.

Which are Ghastly Beyond Belief, by the way.

Was on the Mk5, but according to the price list I've just got not on the Mk6. It's discounted if you've got leather, but not xenons.
