Looks very nice indeed... "looks like a Mokka"...hahaha - joke of the day
Biggest problem I have with VW's are extras, they never come standard. Have to pay extra for Metallic paint, Cruise control, Aircon, Fog lights etc etc.

You get all that standard on the Mokka, plus loads more character and refinement.

That is mostly not true anymore. Standard kit is now almost as good as anyone else's and sometimes even better.

My point being don't make a statement saying VW's come standard with all features competitors include. And no...most dealerships don't just throw in R10000 worth of extras for the fun of it.
Very nice car, but hate that mentality from VW...

So, you looked at the Trendline... Comfortline comes standard with cruise control. On a Ford Focus Ambiente, cruise control isn't even an option. Focus Trend comes standard with it. So, as I said, similar, even sometimes better than the opposition. Like the Passat that comes with a comprehensive maintenance plan as standard, while a Fusion/Accord/Sonata/Optima does not AFAIK.
Dude, in your previous statement you say all VW base models come with all the accessories, now you say I shouldn't quote the base models...Bhahaha.

Not sure what you are laughing at... I never said that they come with everything. I said standard kit is as good as anyone else's. So, base models have similar spec, which I just gave you an example of in my previous post. Learn to read.

Please elaborate on this mentality, and how this is different (better/worse) to all other car companies?
And I think you didn't read Quantum Theorys statement properly. He didn't refer the base models or standard models.
Don't know why VW people are always so defensive for no specific reason... surely if the base model doesn't include the accessories competitors give then it's not a "similar spec, or in some cases better", as you put it...
No need to start throwing insults around - "learn to read" - I made a comment you replied with a statement which I immediately proved wrong. Now you are butt hurt and need to show your man boobs. Get over it...
