You drove a bottom spec vw they’ve had the digital dash since 2017 at least. But as I said vag saved the best version for Audi, then a few years later put a lesser one in the vw and then eventually vw passed it on to seat and Skoda. Im so used to the dash now it feels odd driving my sons brand new Mini Cooper s with just the trip computer. Seat have come on a long way in recent years. They used to be really basic cars. Ive not driven a Mercedes for years I do like the newest interior design but yes it looks like it would take ages to get used to the functions
Its interesting what you say about the Tiguan as the salesman assured me it was the “top spec” of the Motability Options – this was May 2019 – to be fair he did seem dis-interested.
He stated the “wait time” was at least 5 months for the Tiguan which was another deciding factor
