    Pretty sure that the golfs do not come with lane assist. Not sure why as it's offered on a3 and golfs overseas.

    Its not available on the Octavia either, I can only assume it hasn't been tested/approved for use on our roads. It works by using a camera near the rear view mirror so I guess it needs to be tested pretty thoroughly. Its a shame because it can also automatically recognize traffic signs and show the speedlimit on the MFD screen.

    Land assist is approved here because the A3 has it... It is just VGA being tight arses with the golf like always.

    Pretty sure it has already been approved. You can get that on any new Volvos as part of either the Drivers or Safety Pack that includes the City Traffic/Cross Traffic, Blind Spot Indicator, Lane Assist and all the other bells and whistles.

    It is just an unfortunate case that VWA decides to skimp on another option.
