Overall Pros and Cons

[Delewin]

My comment was based on my understanding that if you do not use a weight distribution hitch your total weight towed should not exceed 8% to 10% of the weight of your fully laden trailer.

Using that logic 100 kg weight on the ball would give you a maximum total laden weight of trailer equal to 1,000 kg and not 2,500 kg as the advertising claims.

Usually trailers/caravans are designed and built with a known ball weight range. If you move the load as you suggest to the rear of the trailer to lighten the ball weight you can have control issues and you are not making full use of your trailer's capacity.

Couple more cons a few have mentioned and I agree with

Leather seats don't seem to have great ventilation at the back - ie your lower back gets hot.

No support for Apple CarPlay or android maps on Active Info Display.

ACC can actually be dangerous ( it specifies in the manual not to use it on dual lane roads). If someone is stopped and turning in an adjacent lane the ACC will sometimes brake hard as if they're in your lane.

Thanks. I'll put the second point in there (although it's a limitation with the technologies, not really VW's fault). The other two haven't come up on this forum as far as I've seen recently. If a few other concur then I'll add those too.

I think the limitation on Apple car play and Android auto not displaying in front of the driver is sort of a limitation in the sense that the driver display is version 1 and it should be incorporated in a later release.

The real pity is VW don't do firmware uodates because that may be a solution?

OK, I'll add the ACC one

What about the lack of active lane assist and traffic jam assist?

Yeah, that's a good point. Really wished it had actual traffic jam assist rather than just ACC and lane assist, and others have made the same point. I'll add it.

The cons are getting close to outweighing the pros Time to come up with a few more positive things!!

What do you mean?
I thought there was lane assist if you get Dap.
Also traffic jam assist in the guise of acc should also work.

I read acc stops and goes from standstill.
