I think it's about time, any £27000 car should have leather as standard or free option for the non leather crew, never mind a mid sized mid brand car ( that I like a lot by the way ). And bluetooth as it's law. And xenons because I love them.
I don't believe in global warming, sorry.
How are speed bumps legal?
I dislike lorry drivers who block lanes in traffic.

@Steve30: I've seen + felt the leather in a Tiguan and it's the same stuff as in a Golf.

Is the bluetooth still done by an add on box or have they changed the headunit? (I remember reading this somewere)

The RNS810 (or whatever it's called) in the Toerag can be done by VCDS...but the RNS510 needs the add on box.

Though this was going to be the case as the Edition 35 seems to come with full leather for the UK, and not the half option as per the German cars.

I'm not sure I really want full leather.

@Lee:
If a customer insisted in having Jacara cloth, will VW now reduce the sale price by £2000?

No, they'd charge you £5000 to retro fit some new seats.

Everyone who has seen the Jacara inetrior has commented on how amazing the seats look. I asked if leather would look better. The answer was a definitive: No way. Beat looking seats they have ever seen!

Never mind the cows, they tasted lovely.
