I'm still really struggling with this design feature

The sort of pocket above the driving lights. I can't see how it is in any way aerodynamic to have wall there where the air flows around the body and it looks to me like a great trap for bugs and airborne rubbish and a potential place for bad stone damage.
Can anybody offer a reason for it's existence other than "styling"?

The plug is just a plastic plug marked "12v" as in the pics on the new models and there is no ash tray. The lift up lid box in front of the gear lever where the ash try would be is just felt lined. Mine has an iPod in it I put in there when I got the car and I don't think the lid has been opened since until about two days ago.

'Keyless Entry and Start' or something like that

the alternate interior looks the goods too!

White stitching on the gear box. I like that better than red.

I can hear and feel the handbrake go (push/pull button) in the new 2014 Golf, don't like it

Thats a ciggy lighter in the centre console, as in the current model, and the ignition is a push button.

Why wouldn't they at least make it a COOL push button?... Like in the middle of the centre console or something??!

If you zoom right in on what appears to be an ignition switch on the steering column it looks like it is not actually a switch. It appears to have three lines of text on it. I suspect that in this picture at least this car is fitted with a start/stop switch.

I see, now I see the side view of the ignition.... Do you have to push it to start the car with key in pocket?

AND the power outlet in the center will be good. iPhone charger and iPhone can sit in the cup holder!

Do some research on how the Skoda KESSY system works it should be wasy enough to find out by downloading a Superb user manual if nothing else.

The centre console 12v socket is in the same place as the current Octavias and is useful. Mine generally has a little two port USB charger installed into it.
