I should have guessed, as it listed Keyless as an option, when I was under the impression it was standard. But it mustn't have been standard then...

Not too concerned, sat nav on phone so much better, and only use it a few times a year.

One thing I need to fix is while I was in it pressing buttons it steamed up, and every single window has sucker marks, assume these are from the factory and nobody has decided to stick a sat nav holder to every window - any ideas?

Looks sweet mate. Yeah, VW do keep changing the standard spec. You can get a SatNav retrofit if it's important:-

You know what, I won't miss it, it was only that I had it in my head it was standard, annoyed with myself for not researching properly if anything..

Yeah it will be the robots suckers. Good luck with removing them, I've never managed to on my last 3 cars  :rolleyes:
In fact I'm sure someone had their screen changed because of it.
To be honest I only ever see mine now very faintly if the windows steam up which is very rare since I don't use AC.

Braehead lower car park by chance?
Can never understand how the rest of the car parks can be bursting at the seams yet this only ever has a handful of cars. Its a great find  :laugh:

Haha, Lower was closed as that would have been quieter, this was entry level and was at 7pm last night, probably so quiet due to the weather **top tip - park on the top level and walk down the ramp - always quiet and can find a good space with lots of room**

rscosworth - what's your colour? Really hard to see on the wet photo's. Looks like CG.

When I first bought my GTI the windows steamed up a lot. Just use the AC on auto to keep the steam in check. They will get better in time. Window robot impressions on windscreen last a long time. Looks like the Turin Shroud at times  :wink:

It's limestone, it's very like a colour I had on an astra, it seems to change depending on what light it's under and can almost look brown at times.

Looks great rs, limestone is a very smart colour. Could well be tempted by that for my next car. Definitely wouldn't worry much about nav, it's on mine and it's okay but I'd have been disappointed if I'd had to pay for it. The best bit about it is the way it pronounces place names, can really lighten our moods on a long drive!
