have you driven one yet? electric handbrake and adaptive cruise took some getting used to but i don’t think i could go back now
Had a 2.0 TDi to deliver and discovered the adaptive cruise control by accident, and I was seriously impressed by it.
^ coupled with auto ‘box, auto lights and auto park brake, it really is worryingly easy to drive w.o. effort compared to my old mark II & V manuals
This is so very true! I had a 2.0 GT TDi yesterday, drove it from Bridgwater to Newport, and it was just so very easy to drive, 6Music on the radio, hammering around the M49 at Avonmouth with an almost completely empty road ahead…
I can’t believe you haven’t mentioned that you can’t left-foot brake in a VAG…
Who left-foot brakes anyway? And it’s really something you don’t want to do with an auto!
Switching back and forth between manual and auto cars two or three times a day, like I do, it can really catch you out forgetting that you’re in an automatic and put your foot on what you think is the clutch…
