What features would you like to see?

[AndrueC]

I wish the dash showed fuel remaining and average consumption in ECO gauge mode.

I wish Brake Hold would stay in the last mode you selected (on in my case).

I wish there were dimples and more positive action on the steering wheel buttons Cruise Control particularly.

I wish my car had a non-return valve on the rear washer.

I wish the auto-dip was as well implemented as that on my Honda Jazz.

I wish the armrest USB port was not power only and that there was more than one.

I wish the infotainment system offered 'shuffle by album'.

For some reason it's a rare feature of any music player these days. I have it on my iPod touch (curtesy of a cheap app you can install) but I hate having to deal with iTunes so I've put the iPod in a drawer somewhere. I also have it curtesy of Rocket Player on my Android phone but music played over BT to the infotainment unit sounds flat and lifeless for some reason.

So now I use a USB stick but that means I've lost album shuffle. Not only does it interrupt the music flow the most annoying aspect is the change in volume between tracks.

The most dangerous part on my car is the nut that holds the steering wheel.

As a previous VAG owner

I miss auto locking doors.

I miss coming home headlights.

I miss auto hold (always on).

I miss USB C ports and wireless Android Auto. (I only had this in my Tiguan and not the Golf's)

I don't miss the time it took the screens to demist.  

I miss the VAG infotainment system, much more premium, however I can live with this one and it trumps Honda's.

I miss the boot open only button on the remote.

I miss gas struts on the bonnet.

I wish I could activate Sport Mode and it stayed active until I disable it, even after switching off the ignition. 😏

Cars have to start in a mode able to match the economy in WLTP tests, same reason normal cars have to re engage start stop.

My Seat Leon FR (1.4 Petrol) 2018 could stay in Sport Mode forever ... 🤷‍♂️

Pre WLTP I think. Silly things now car have to be supplied with specific tyres or need retesting

None at all

There's topics about getting the (speed camera) beeps to stop. It's buried in a menu somewhere, and apparently not intuitive to find. Maybe if you search and find one of those threads, you may find something useful ?

I feel like the door bins are lined in the Corolla? I think I've opened the glove box once. 😂

A PHEV version with a decent sized battery, like the 18kWh battery in the RAV4.

Trouble with that is that you use a serious amount of boot space. I looked at the PHEV Prius last year and the boot space was pitiful.

I am more ashamed, and don't really use it because of this. 😅

Depends on Battery location and whether the larger Battery is added to an existing design as something of an after-thought, or whether it is designed in from the start and located in a less obtrusive area, like under the rear seats or under the floor.
