Golf Alltrack

All the bushes and dampers still need to be "broken in".

Noted Brad. I'll try to be patient, although the thing handles so well that I'm not regretting my choice even if there is no improvement in ride quality. The (leather) seats are really good too, comfort and support.

Could not resist got some fitted car mats today

Very luxurious Kachingg. My white mirror caps arrived and are fitted, thanks to some videos on youtube. Car looks much better. I now want to source some 4-way headrests because I do a lot of snoozing in the passenger seat while wifey drives - I'm 73. I tried the ones from my Mk2 Tiguan and they fit, so the search has started. I also want extending sunvisors like our 2005 Mk5 GTI had, and the US Alltrack SEL has them. I will advise the outcome in due course. I like this VW ability to mix 'n match. Perhaps they should feature it in their advertising.

Yes the vw parts bin is huge lots of mix and match options
Well done with the mirror caps the silver ones are the only part of the car i didn't like

Another big win, folks - the standard 17 x 7 full-size wheel fits in the spare wheel well. I'll be able to go touring when I get one.

And the 17s will take snow chains. Chains aren't recommended for the optional 18s.

No chains needed rooboy?

[Rooboy]

No chains required...ordinary weather but the road was clear. 1.5c but not icy at all.

Hi all, how is everyone experience on tyres? Looking to go either 235/35r19 or 235/40r19, please comment on the size and tyres recommended? Always been with conti, and from experience, they offer good grip dry and wet plus long lasting (my last 3 sets both last more than 30000km, with once a year track day), but read so many other comparison lately, i m a bit unsure and tempted to try other brands! Thanks all!
