This thread is great, one minute it's that there's been no progress, the mk8 isn't powerful enough, next we're all going to die in a terrible, pointless Toyota, that's too fast.

Oi aye, when I were a lad we made do with 4 gears and to do 60 required a long down hill and a favourable wind direction.

😂😂😂
There’s some truth in this. We all sometimes struggle to manage the 2 voices in our head.

Just seen the Rory Reid review of the gti. I didn’t realise that the temp sliders etc weren’t illuminated in the dark. Who thought that was a good idea?

I dont’ think the hot keys below are illuminated either. There are all manner of interior lighting options and colours which don’t appeal to me yet things that should light up don’t.

I agree it’s a bad idea.....but you can use voice control

It’s a major flaw. I can’t believe it wasn’t picked up and addressed during user testing and development.
Really annoying

I've not driven one in the dark yet, but suspect maybe the light from the central display might splash onto it?

Either that or that its on a ledge and you can find it without a visual reference to exactly where.

Guess I'll find out soon enough although to be fair I rarely adjust the temperature on the move, leave it on auto at 22 all year round. Audio volume I set with the steering wheel buttons.

Probably won't spoil the car for me, but for a couple of euros worth of back lighting they could have stopped a moan.
