I think anyone interested in VW’s latest cars had better get used to the fact that they seem to be following a new trend of ‘cost cutting’… especially in their R-Line models.
I am interested in the new Mk.8 Golf R-Line myself – but I note that, in reality, it comes with less equipment than the model below! No electric folding mirrors, improved LED headlights, heated seats, rear camera or bigger wheels – all of which are very expensive options to add to a car – just for the sake of ‘sportier looking’ front & rear bumpers & a black headlining!
As usual in my case of whichever car I choose soon, I will drive it off the forecourt and run it for a few weeks… and then find out that the manufacturer will suddenly add lots of kit to it as standard. You just know it! :/
