I've never been able to see what all the fuss about it to be honest.


Likewise. Talk about storm in a teacup.

It’s not like the mk8 Golf is the only car to use an overly complex screen to control just about everything. I’ve found the little panel in the newer Tiguans and T-Rocs just as bad and they’re fully illuminated!

I do however fully agree with literally everyone on the internet that it’s beyond belief that the panel doesn’t have illumination for the heater temps and volume when the actual screen immediately above it is fully backlit  :rolleyes:
But in operation it’s nowhere near the problem YouTubers make out.

Indeed Exonian and also the accidental pressing of the heating steering wheel button, in over 18 months of ownership that hasn't happened to me once, maybe these clowns simply can't drive.

Sorry for the late replies

Thanks to a local VW dealership I got the misses into a Clubsport this afternoon for a test drive and to test out the interior. She was fine with it in the flesh and agreed!

Proud to report I will be picking up a brand new Clubsport with 19”s and DCC on the 23rd just in time for Christmas. I didn’t realise the latest builds had the GTI logo stitched into the seat. That was the cherry on top and I was sold.

Looking forward to be an active member of the forum again. This will be my 4th GTI

Good news Clarky and we’ll take full responsibility if the UI pisses Mrs Clarky off! 😁
