Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

          Is the interlagos on the door trims as well or just on the seats? Any other difference to the interior besides the seats when comparing the cloth and leather seats option?

            Forget the roof - get the Latte and get the windows tinted.

            I've climbed into mine with the outside temp on 45, and obviously the inside was hot, but the leather was no hotter than cloth would have been. You'll notice the steering wheel heat more than the seat heat.

            When I want fresh air through the car, I just drop all the windows making one big "sunroof"

                  I've got both on the Jetta and think both are great to have but if I had the choice of one or the other I would choose leather. Easy to clean, looks and smells great, I don't find it at all hot in summer contrary to some other owners, and the seat heating is great in winter.

                  I use the sunroof a great deal, as much in winter as in any other time, a good option to get fresh air in without being buffeted by wind.

                  Definitely worth stretching the budget to both if you possibly can.

                  Cheers
