$3150 for "Vienna" leather in the Golf. 
I remember my early Mk 5 GTI had leather (or an equivalent man made material looking like leather on the sides of the seats). My dad's late Mk 5 Golf had cloth on the sides of the seats and most definitely vinyl on the back of the seats. Cost cutting
My Mk 6 has cloth on the sides and again likely imitation leather on the back.
Why the hell are we being asked to pay 3 grand for "some leather"
Well at least you get seat heaters.
In the Merc the standard seats are very nice man made suede. Look very cool and are very comfy. Option up the AMG Exclusive package for $2490 and you get very tasty red cut perforated black leather seats also with red stitching that's shames the VW partial leather. You also get 3 memory electric adjustment included with heating and upper dash covered in man made leather with red stitching that again looks brilliant.
Also in the Merc if you don't "want" a sunroof then don't open the thing and leave the sun shade closed. By the way the panoramic sunroof really is that and much better than in the Golf. So why would you complain about a "free" sunroof? Particularly when it looks much better at trade in time.
For the golf to not get LED tail lights after spending about 3 grand for bixenons is ridiculous. They should not be the same as what I paid for them 3 years ago. Oooooooo maybe I'll tick the option of an LED number plate globe
Yes unfortunately the A250 doesn't come in manual or have adjustable suspension but it does have a 3 pointed star badge on the front that says best in class depreciation rate. The VW has come a long way from being the "people's car"
