Just watched a review of it on YouTube gear lever is now on steering wheel
My current car is a Tiguan and love it being the best MB I’ve ever had, could have been bigger in the boot department with the Allspace being so expensive for low trim level but yes, that shifter on the stalk has put me right off having another Tiguan.
It seems this ideal is finding its way into other VAG cars so will need to look elsewhere in future with exception of the Golf, however I think that model is about to be replace by the Mk9 so we can expect the same with that model too. That said I had a Golf Mk 7 that I also loved but was too low for me and I struggled to get out of it.
