If you could only have 1 optional extra?

[Watts]

If it's a GTI we're looking at then the PP has to be the one option to tick.
On a GTD then I'd say park pack as that is cheap and can get you out of some very tight situations.

These two models already come with most things as standard such as nav and Arse warmers along with the ultimate lazy option of keyless (designed for those who carry handbags and employ people to wipe their derrières  )

I'm not sure if it's actually an option on a Golf yet but I was extremely sceptical about heated steering wheels until I had a lift home from the pub in a corsa yesterday that had this as a standard feature.
It did make me chuckle and I can see it being popular with delicate ladies and Scandinavians.

Although neither of the above, I'd like a heated steering wheel. My poor dainty digits do suffer from the cold

The skidoos we had on a holiday in Finland a few years back had heated grips but that was essential at around -30c!

If you drive a lot at night then active high beam.

If not then sunroof as most of the other stuff can be added later.

How does high beam assist work with dual carriageways with armco in the middle? I often drive on a pitch black dual carriageway like that at silly o'clock and wish I had HBA but wonder how it would cope with the cars the other side of the armco that would still be dazzled if you had full beam on.

I paid for high beam assist but to be honest, I couldn't tell you if it's installed or not. I can't see anything about it in the manual and there is no indication of it on the stalk that I'm aware of.

HBA works fine on dual carriageways with Armco barriers, the sensor is infront of the rear view mirror so works as it should when there might be obstructions low to the ground such as Armco etc etc


Kalimon just push the stalk forward and then you'll see a light sign appear on the dash with an a in it, that means lights on auto

Thanks. I'll give it a whirl later

The lights also need to be in auto and will only work at speeds over 32mph or something like that.

It works really well. I only have high beam assist on my CC but most of the other cars I drive have active high beam and I have never had another person flash me in years of driving. The Audi matrix lights take it to another level though.

Do you mean over 32mph?? I use HBA all the time and at speeds way above 32mph

Yeah sorry, I meant over. Amended now.
