TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2014 Volkswagen Golf / GTI

2014 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Available Features: Cons
YearComment
For safety- or luxury- minded folks there are stronger reasons not to buy a Volkswagen e-Golf. Neither the e-Golf nor the Soul EV offers the latest safety features such as forward collision warning, automatic braking, lane deparature warning, or blind spot warning. This is a bit of a surprise, as some of these features are available on the regular Soul and all are available on the regular Golf for 2016. Both tested cars had obstacle detection at both ends, but this aid to parking is of limited value in such compact cars. Volkswagen also opted not to offer a few luxury features available on the Soul EV: cooled front row seats, heated steering wheel, heated second row seats, leather upholstery, and a panoramic sunroof. The first three could aid efficiency by reducing the need to use the car's heating and air conditioning. Of course, none of this matters if you cannot even buy an e-Golf where you live. As I write this, the car is only available in some states: California, Conneticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachussetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, DC. The list is a little different for the Soul EV: California, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Maryland. More states will be added in the future. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review
