Noice!!! Congrats

and thanks for confirming rear traffic alert is there.

The assist menu looks better now populated with all the options, rather than just front assist being there by its lonesome self

Nice car @MRG! Makes me even more jealous seeing it! Can I ask what the top button is on the left hand side of the gear stick? Haven't seen that before in my travels...

@zapsplat, i am assuming you are asking about the buttons on flat panel to the left of the gear stick!
Left:
Top button : auto parking brake
Button below: hill hold/auto hold what ever VW calls.
Right:
Top button: park assist
Button below: reverse cam/parking sensor on/off.

If u talking on the stick, there is only on button facing forward.

Spot on, you understand me! That's weird why I didn't notice it then, oh well. So there's no auto stop start button now? I thought that was one of the flat panel button on the left.

So does it drive as well as you'd imagined? Any cool features / niche things you've discovered that we should look at when the rest of us pick up our cars....someday?

@MRG_AU, I thought the top left button to the left of the gear stick is the Driving Profile Selection button?

That's what I thought from looking at it, but the photo only juuuuust wasn't clear to zoom that far. I had only seen before that was changeable through the head unit, so if it is I'll be a happy chap

Ya I can confirm it's the driving profile selection switch from our current Golf 7. The button directly below it is the Stop/Start switch.

**MRG_AU** · 20-03-2015, 03:05 PM

Yes yes sorry still getting hang of VW from Audi

**agentthumb** · 20-03-2015, 03:13 PM

No worries

You'll love the Golf! Every time I drive the MK7, then go back to driving my current Camry Hybrid, it feels like I'm driving a cruise liner... Can't wait to get my baby in June!

I only spent 15 mins in the car. So got confused. Also I can confirm car came with V3 SD card navigation version 0031/2015. Which I believe is the latest maps.
