I bought a new Passat and collected it in March before the lockdown. The rrp for this car was over £30000 with the factory fitted options. I didn't pay near that amount but for that you don't get either electric folding mirrors or DAB radio or cd player. So, if these are important to you then just be careful.
VW have admitted their brochure is confusing and, as DAB cannot now be fitted, have agreed to give me my first service free.
It does come with Medium Wave radio! How stupid is that?
I agree. It is very important to check exactly what you're getting.
I downloaded a brochure for the Golf 8 a few weeks ago and already, when we went into the showroom a couple of days ago, some things have changed.
I have made a list of everything we want and noted which are included in the RRP and which are optional extras.
In January (probably), if we decide to go ahead with a Golf, I shall go through the details with a fine-toothed comb!
Incidentally, looking through online motoring reviews, opinions of the new Golf are generally very good.
The one drawback that comes up with them all is that
they don't like the lack of knobs and buttons and, worse, some of
the 'touch' controls are difficult to use accurately.
That is something we're going to have to look at more closely nearer the time.
