Wheres the electric passenger seat???

[MonkeyIsland]

Just took order of a 72' V2 with petrol blue full leather seats. Drivers seat lovely full electric, passenger seat clunky manual levers and knobs. How can a 35k car in 2022 have these manual levers from a 1995 Ford Escort?

Lots of VAG cars costing £35k or more don’t have electrically adjustable seats - either the driver‘s or front passenger’s - or leather upholstery either.

Thanks for the reply SRGTD. I find that terrible really. Great car the V2 but actually found that embarrasing when a passenger asked about it. Thought it was maybe an issue with Semi Conductor chips and faster roll out or something. Even my 2010 3 series had front and passenger electric!

Fwiw my old 64 plate, decent spec Tiguan had a manual passenger seat.

Forgot to mention, electric front seats were a near-£900 option on all 3 series in 2010. Not standard.

Wait til you find out you don't get a low washer fluid warning, or illuminated heater controls either...

But you do get a manual bonnet prop ?

Can't go wrong with old skool technology ?

Hows the infotainment system behaving itself, and getting used to hardly any physical buttons.

Wait till you spend nearly 50k on a vz3 with every single option and still get a manual passenger seat.

One less thing to go wrong

Aha, the power of Positive Pessimism!?

Wait till you spend 60k+ on vz5 and still get both manual seats and no option for pan roof (weight savings!!)

Where are these ordered from, NO uk yet ?

 

[johnmcclane]

I have no idea if and how many VZ5 models were assigned to UK (if they even did right hand drive vz5??).
In Estonia we got officially 5 last year and 5 this year (with over 20 people in waiting list) and theres one for sale at 65k eur.

That is a pretty special car
