if you don't like it then don't buy it... simples
It's not as simple as that though is it. The golf ticks all the boxes in every respect (as it always has). I've owned 3 over the years. A mk3 driver, mk4 gt Tdi 130 and a mk5 gti which is my current motor.
My next motor I wanted to push the boat out a little and get something a little special. The seats are important and I love the tartan cloth, the mind boggles why VW would produce an anniversary model and not offer this as a default option. They got everything right with ed30 but seems they've failed to achieve the same levels with the 35. Not saying that the 35 is technically inferior because its not, infact it's the opposite. Those concept seats look stunning! I'd gladly waver the tartan for those, they're amazing. At the end of the day if you're spending your hard earned cash on a new motor, you'd at least expect a couple of options. How would you feel if 17" monzas where the only wheels on offer? We're all human and we all want different things. I'll probably still buy one but I'll always feel flat about those mundane seats.
