I picked up the Sharan petrol auto last Thursday giving up my manual diesel Touran which I had on the scheme. Driving wise it’s an a effortless change over and the dsg makes for a good driving experience. There are some differences that I am figuring out and getting to grips with. Mine is a 2020 model but didn’t come with the 8” screen instead it has the basic 6.5” screen which is disappointing but hey ho. There is no big digital speedo showing on the MFD which was there at a glance on the Touran and it is something I miss when driving especially setting the cruise control and being aware when driving in 20/30 mph limit roads. There is a fix for this (see my vag-com/vcds thread) but the cable and software needed to to do this runs into hundreds of pounds. Don’t bother asking a VW dealer as you will find like me and others they are not interested and will tell you it can’t be done. I went on Facebook and there are hundreds of UK car enthusiast and professionals ( http://www.vcdsusers.uk/ ) who have this equipment and for a very small fee (£10/£20) can activate the digital speedo in 5 minutes and doesn’t effect the cars warranty. I have found someone in my area who will activate the big speedo next week. The other difference is getting use to the auto hold on the dsg as I never had to think about it on the Touran manual. I use the hold function in start stop traffic and steep road but when I park forward or reverse I release it and just cover the break letting the car creep in to the space. If you have a heavy foot and keep it on hold trying to delicately park park there is a chance you could press the accelerator to hard and overshoot or maybe that’s just me. Anyway I’m enjoying finding out about my Sharan it adds to it’s charm rather than takes anything away. Good luck in your next choice of car.
