+1 ALL my cars have had that...first when on a budget that aftermarket crap form Webasto and Hollandia. :cry: :cry:..later on the proper sunroofs from the factory....no discussion... :wink:

I choose DSG and am fairly surprised that it is not the greatest extra by far.....you should have seen me enjoying it in my mountain drives incredible. :shocked:...very low revs fast uphill and a torque like a tractor with the smoothness of a Rolls....yes I know I get carried away...but grant me that endulgence....ohh how those Germans where seeking parking spots when I came on their tail...... :laugh:

I've picked Parking Camera, as I think the motorised VW badge is genius!

You see a fair number of cars now on the road with reverse cameras, but generally you can see them bulging out beside the number plate lights.  Its such a cheap optional extra, but its so well thought out!  Other cameras get covered in dirt during Winter, but as the VW one is hidden away it stays clean.  :tongue:

I've voted for ACC.
I tried driving in 'Normal' mode both in town and on the motorway and it was unbearable. :sick:
'Comfort' setting is a godsend. I love it! :smiley:

Factory order. Don't think it can be retro-fitted or retro-fitted at a reasonable cost.

You can tell you are a city dweller...
I can only live with the floatiness of 'Comfort' when driving on awful city streets.
Out on the open road it's tragic...feels like someone has stolen the dampers and left it on the springs.

Normally I leave it in standard/dynamic.

On a decent back road it's straight into 'Sport' and throw the car about a bit.  :evil:

This I am and without 'Comfort' I'd be very bruised.
I am a very sedate sort-of driver now after my wild experiences with the Honda Type R GT.
I must admit that the suspension tends to crash slightly in 'Comfort' mode, but it is a price worth paying. I don't find it too floaty either. Gives it a big car feel! :cool:

Now how many sets of wheels do you have? My guess is 4 sets in total.
