Hmmmnn, not a fan of that feature but could live with it. Likewise I have a preference for the Left Hand Side Indicator Stalk but could live with it being on the opposite side. The car looks pretty well built but I thought the material used on the Steering Wheel is better on my Mk I compared to this Mk IV. Would I buy one, most likely. For the price, it's loaded with features that I like. Hell, even E.S.P. wasn't an option on my LX Spec back in the early 00's.

Starting the car with your foot on the brake is extremely common now. Especially if its keyless start. They all do it.
