    Full Road Test of 1.5 eTFSi Style in this week's Autocar. Overall very positive and gets 4.5*/5 and is the top car amongst its peers. Not quite sure why in their "recommended spec" they suggest going for the upgraded navigation (c£1600) when all it seems to really add is gesture control.

    Yes, that was a very positive review from Autocar.

    Agree on the dubious value of Discover Navigation Pro. I think it provides voice activation as well as gesture control but, still, hardly worth £1,600. Dynamic Chassis Control at £950 looks a better bet. But hopefully that won’t be needed with the 16” wheels of the Life or the 17” on the Style.

    You do get some voice activation with the standard system. You use the command "Hello Volkswagen" followed by things like "I'm cold"" or Set temperature to 22 degrees"

    Thanks for clearing that up, John. So, as you say, £1,600 just for gesture control seems a bit steep.

    Does anyone know how to get the total miles the car has done? I can't seem to find it. I can see, short term, long term and since last refuel.

    Turn off the adaptive cruise to see the mileage? That's where it is in the older one

    After playing around with it a bunch, it only shows up when you turn the ignition off. States the total mileage of the car etc.

    I'm having the issue with mirrors also.
    I'm due to collect my VW Golf 8 eTSI Style on the 1st.
    The website states that the style comes with electric folding mirrors but the dealer tells me it doesn't have it.
    I'm currently trying to get them to knock some off the agreed price.. My thinking is they charge for extra options so I charge for the omission of them.

    Folding mirrors were only introduced ifor the MY2021 version of the Golf which was announced in July. Question toyou is when did you order the car and when you ordered it were you ordering a MY2020 car (ie one that already had a build date and build schedule - possibly even in stock) or was it a factory order for a MY2021 car? Unless you specifically mentioned that you were expecting floding mirrors when you ordered it I doubt very much the dealer will give you anything in way of compensation
