Golf GTE driven
« on: 23 April 2015, 11:18 »
Had a couple of hours with a Golf GTE yesterday. Really impressed. The silence takes a bit of getting used to! Pics and waffle to follow soon.

Also drove a Scirocco R, Polo GTI and Something Up!  :smiley:

many thanks for the write up John - just one question. Your exampel had Keyless entry - why did you have to take the key out of your pocket to unlock the door?

As for the muted colour availability - very good point. It just seems the look of the car (with its rather garish blue striping and forced 'blue tartan' interior') is difficult to adjust with the excessive restrictions placed on it. even the wheels don't really get me excited - and the five door only thing is just baffling.

I actually love the concept and the technology but I don't think I could live with the look of the car.

If you live or commute to a 'Low Emission' zone !? then it's an interesting option.

Cheers :)

Mark - good point. Probably part of switching between cars all day and still using the remote without thinking! Makes it even more seamless so I should probably change that  :whistle:

Definitely a car for Bozza  :grin:
