Things you don't like about your MK7

[Eaglehawk]

...what I don't like?

After 6 weeks of ownership, I got rear ended

Minor one, but still heartbreaking after getting a new car so soon...

My Mk5 GTI wasn't equally spaced. It did something similar to the Mk6 & 7.

Even my Polo GTI does a similar thing. It's very useful.

If you start the car facing uphill (steep driveway), it refuses to let you turn on Auto Hold. You have to start accelerating against the handbrake and then disengage it when you feel the car pull.

Why didnt they give you the auto dimming side mirrors with the rear view one in the comfortline?

$$$$$ most likely answer. Other makes in that price range don't offer that feature?

[vitagen]

Well It's a feature of the comfortline spec upgrade. I would have thought they would do both the side mirrors with the rear view one.

On my MKVII I run all my music off an SD card. What I dont like about this is the fact that I cannot search my music alphabetically. Extremely frustrating given how many music files we all have these days. If the car had full iPod compatibility this would not be an issue as we could all run it from the iPod and use all the great iPod search features.

Everyone complaining about not being able to search for playlists, artist or whatever...

You're taking your eye's off the road to do this plus whats wrong with just listening to your music randomly or making a playlist or folder that you use just for driving??

We never had these luxuries with the old tape players..

Its because the VW units don't support tags, so you need to organise everything into folders old school like. Which is so 2005! Jeez we get lazy don't we? I bet we downloaded all these mp3's as well. Problem is we want everything perfectly organised and don't want to pay for it or put any effort in to it. Personally I f*&cking hate ipods and iphones as they treat you like an idiot and say "Hey fella, you've had a hard day, why don't I just scan your computer for all your stupid crap sounding mp3's and shove them all onto your phone an Ill just orgainse them for you".

Put your music + playlists on your phone and stream it via bluetooth.

Have seen the same thing, and it seems to be sorting based on creation date maybe? I will see if that date is easily changed and if it makes a difference and respond either way.

Full iPod connectivity would be great. I wonder what changes ios7 will bring and if that will mean better Bluetooth integration or perhaps a firmware update from vw which brings better Bluetooth integration........

Still no date on when tow bars will be available on the MkVII! (And having to take it back with a number of minor issues - such as radio reception etc).

Good discussion people. Back on topic, I am interested to hear how you all do a quick search for a particular song on a 64Gb SDD card in your MKVII? Oh wait...

The side mirrors look great but really are too small and don't give good vision.
