Follow us onThe other thing about being stuck in traffic is that you start to notice things in a car’s cabin that you otherwise never would have. I was pleased to note that, amidst a market full of integrated audio systems designed to fit Apple’s iOS, here was one that integrated fully with Android too – it managed to grab audio track data off my phone, even when streaming via Bluetooth; not something I see too often, sadly. Then there were the cupholders, which at first I thought were stupidly large and incapable of holding anything in place, said phone included, until I realised a brace has to be flipped into place for a tighter fit — clever and flexible.
I also managed to notice a few unsavoury elements though, like the triangular piece of exposed metal inside of the rear window frame — an eyesore in an otherwise impeccably trimmed cabin. And speaking of trim, a lot of it is a very light beige colour, and the way it attracts dirt makes the Autocar test team seem 10 times filthier than we actually are. Finally, there are a few things on the inside that detract from that ‘tank-like build’ that we so often like to associate with German cars — things like the driver’s window switch, which despite the car having been to VW and back, still dangles loosely in its enclosure.
