Chris_Blue - the Audi does this and I'm sure your Golf will too

As for the feature, as an owner of four black cars in a row I love this feature, allows me to let the worst of the oven heat out of the car before I get in, whilst walking towards the car.

Get in, start, drive, foot down.

On our other car a Vectra elite. It has this function where you can open and close the windows with the key. Should you leave the windows open and it starts to rain. They automatically close by themselves.

On hot days, I have found if you put the air con on to auto as you get in it doesn't take long at all to cool down.

There'll always be some snarky remarks about features like this but normally it's because people haven't experienced them.

This feature does make a small difference particularly during the summer; it allows air to flow around the car so that it doesn't feel like you're stepping into an oven, especially helpful if you've got leather seats.

I honestly wonder why it isn't a standard thing. It's just as much of a convenience feature as remote locking, perhaps more so.

I was hoping my new Skoda would have it as most cars in their range do... but unfortunately not this time [emoji1361]

Mine is always on auto, opening the windows first means the ac doesn't have to go crazy when you turn the key as the worst of the heat is gone

Open drivers door, lower passenger window, get in car after 15 seconds. All is good

Hope this not too snarky.

Did you try the remote function on yours Chris ?

No. Been consigned to as much use as the self levelling wing mirrors (Which self level when you don't want them too) the cruise control which brakes when it wants to, and the myriad of functions such as oil temperature display, variable sensor delivered wipers, electronic handbrake which hasn't worked on a hill twice now, and car wont start unless clutch is depressed and couple times hasn't even started then.

LOL. All these gadgets

Worst one , after getting used to not having a handbrake, is the emergency assist brake which just applies itself when it thinks youre not gonna stop....

are you by any chance driving the golf mk7? If so I feel your pain with the front assist. AlMost ca used a crash the first day I had the car! Also didn't like the clutch to start routine.

You can enable it if you have VCDS. If not where are you based and I can sort you out?

[lfcrule1972]

The clutch to start routine is a PITA I agree It's my only gripe with mine, there was a chap who made wiring harnesses to bypass this requirement but they don't work with the stop/start system and appear to be best suited for older Audi's
