After owning my 2001 GTi for about a month now, I have noticed lots of little things that show how much thought went into the design and engineering of the Golf.
A few things I love:
- When turning off the engine and ignition all the way, the stereo keeps playing. As soon as you take the key out of the ignition, the stereo turns off and the interior lights come on, regardless of if you have the door open.
- The back seats fold ALL the way down and completely flat, creating a gigantic boot if needed for moving big stuff. Also when you need to get the seats back up there is a neat slot for your hand to get down and get a grip on the seat backs.
- There is a foot-rest for your left foot, which is standard on most cars, but there is also a comfy spot for you to put your right foot, say while using cruise control on the highway. It's still nice and close to the pedals for when you have to brake, etc. Don't know if this one was intentional, but it's very comfy and about the same position as the left foot rest.
Just wondering what other people notice/appreciate in their Golf's?
