Golf XXVI (or whatever) is now huge.
VII.V Is what mine is...

It was supposed to be VIII but there was some sort of financial problem at VW recently.

I was driving a lecky shopping trolley today(Nissan Leaf) and it's p*sh in this weather, no water to heat so little comfort in the car, using the incar heat system reduces the range, as does a heavy throttle foot, I'll stick to internal combustion then.

Does yours have the electric elephant or a heat pump in the posher versions?

It is very much a problem with BEVs/FCEVs.

I like it - nice things to be in, nice things to drive in. Nice things to be driven in. AND you have an S2000.

As a 'one car for all' solution, you really can't fault them.

I was messing around with all the FRED menus and I note I have a "Think Blue Trainer" score of 89/100. Hopefully this will worsen once the car is run in.

Funnily enough, one can set the car up for internet "browsing". That sort of thing probably explains why driving standards are so poor.
