Volkswagen Golf Estate (2013 - 2020) 2.0 TDI SE 5d DSG Owner Review

Does just about everything that my previous 2003 Golf Sport did and a lot more safety features. I do miss climate control. It’s already needed a new battery as numerous electrical faults were diagnosed to the battery not holding charge. Manoeuvre braking not working, central electrical fault. The seat materials seem to stain if you so much as look at them, lots of rain spots. Valeting makes the stains go for a few weeks but they seem to seep back through even though Scotchguard was applied. Whilst fitting mud flaps I noticed that an under tray was not fitted correctly, researched this and found a selection of under trays are available but not fitted as standard. Front seats with cut outs for storage trays but not blanked off (as they were in my MK4). Penny pinching! Plus why is there a big hole in the back bumper? The cover is an option for £68. A design fault seems to be when I open the tailgate after rain it holds water which runs into the boot. Not to mention the fuse box accessible by removing the glove box.
