    I’m another with an early Style model. No folding mirrors despite brochure and website at time of order saying it did have. Was a bit annoyed. As it goes, I’m thinking of asking to change anyway. I came from a Kuga and I’m finding getting in and out of the Golf is much harder than I thought and I’m getting extra pain in legs due to this and lower sitting position. (I have MS). Just have to pluck up the courage to contact Motability to ask…….

    Yep the Golf is hard to get out of and it’s why I had to give up after two Golf’s and a Seat Leon and go with something a bit more off the ground. I loved the car so much I just couldn’t let it go but after 9 years and myself being 9 years older that doesn’t help when your disabled and I gave in.

    Going back to topic, you have to be very careful with VW’s configuration, brochure and advertising slogan’s because some things in them are blatantly pulling the wool over your eye’s and some are simple mistakes.

    I remember a couple of years ago, may have been on this forum, arguing with someone that the Golf SV comes with front parking sensors, definitely, honest, I’ll bet me house on it. After checking directly with VW-UK it turned out that it did not come with front sensors so after pointing out to VW what their ads said they took down the misinforming advert a few days later and of course folding mirrors come into this area where brochure are very misleading more so when you see a photo of an SE model with small print at the bottom of the photo saying “model shown SE with upgraded satnav display” or words to that effect.
