I slightly disagree with looking at the resale value. I'm not company car funded so my car is family transport and dad's toy rolled into one.
I always keep an eye on the resale value as I'm not a big earner like most mk7 owners. I'm more of a low stress job and keeping living costs down type of person.
So to me resale value is very important. I accept I'm going to lose masses of money but you'd do that on a base model too and when you roll into the fact that my car is my main hobby too then you also accept that (unless you're a collector like my dad who can make money on stuff) hobbies cost money (and nagging from other half) and you reap the benefit in personal enjoyment. So to me it's a balance.
And I'd quite like ACC/DCC but not £800 like it.
How many different profiles and buttons to adjust do we need?
Profiles on the computer for steering and accelerator.
Profiles on the DSG.
Profiles on the suspension.
How about just concentrating on driving a fine car and letting the basic engineering do its job without having to decide every couple of miles that you want a different profile?
Choices are nice but you can have too many.
If the basics are good you don't need choices of driving style.
