There is no way the Discover pro is worth £1700. I have ordered the normal sat nave for £700 and that is a total rip off. (I use sat nav every time I use the car due to the nature of my job)

Exactly what do you get for an extra £1000, a slightly bigger screen and some features that you will never use.

Think of the computer you could buy for £1700, a top of the range TomTom is only £200.

Its almost a crazy as spending £1000 on an extra inch diameter on your wheels or some sparkle in your white paint.

Those back roads sound like where I live in Cornwall.  I am surrounded by A & B Roads as well as many country lanes hardly wider than a car.  awesome stuff to test the car on a weekend drive to the beach and along coastal roads.  I cannot wait for my car....   When VW decide to finish building it that is  :laugh:


I second that Brenbo, I had Carrs vw white demo for the whole day in the summer, had a great drive down to lands end and Sennon Cove. Some great roads down here to test the GTI. I've just to wait another 2 months before I can test my own.

Not too familiar with Cornwall but if its anything like Devon then your roads are much narrower than mine!  Also Cambridgeshire doesn't involve any drops for hundreds of feet into the valley if you misjudge a corner... or if the road has decided to subside. :grin:
