California edition Uk

It may be different in the UK (I have a German Beach Edition) but, the Edition mandatorily gives you the Comfort Dash, which gives you 3 zone Climate Control (rear) . I have the LED head/tail lights but no washer system. Does the UK Beach Edition have the Comfort Dashboard?

Does your Edition have the Interior Lighting concept? The internal dimmable LED lighting?

Sorry, was it standard? And are Heated seats standard In Europe?

 

[Amarillo]

Yes, it comes with Comfort Dash and 3 zone Climate controls.

Comfort dash *includes* climatronic. They are not separate options: you can have the discomfort dash with climatronic but not the comfort dash without climatronic.

Apologies, no, the light concept was an optional extra - checking on the heated seats ...

I was going to edit it into Google translate but it was a bit of a mess which made difficult reading!

"Both Beach and Ocean models are powered by VW’s 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine – the former gets the 148bhp version, while the latter gets the more powerful 201bhp unit – and both are equipped with a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox. In addition to the more powerful engine, the Ocean adds an interior fitted with kitchen cupboards and a bed extension, plus a water connection for an outdoor shower."

My Beach has a bed extension I thought they all did?

I'd order the 3 zone climate and comfort dash again but in the 2 years we had our Beach, I probably adjusted the rear heating about a dozen times.

As we use it mainly just as a family MPV, we want the 7 seats and as I've still got the 2no swivel seats from our last Beach, we can put them in if we need too...

The 2 seats I have are light grey and was intending to cover them to match the black interior which I thought the Edition would have. Based on the current information, it seems I may not have to get any covers!

We also use ours on a day to day basis as an MPV and have the two swivel captains seats with built in child seats. I intend to hang on to them and order the basic five seater Beach when the time comes to change, but only if the interior fabric and colour is the same. I'm a bit OCD with things like that.
Another reason why the Edition doesn't appeal to me as much is the mandatory comfort dash. It is nice to look at but far less practical than the uncomfortable one. We have the latter in our current Beach and as a result, enjoy much better dash storage. Our dash is all matt black which I also prefer as there are no reflections. Currently, it's purely down to personal choice however I have a sneaky suspicion that the Comfort dash will end up becoming a standard fixture on all Calis in the not too distant future.
Regarding the rear controls for the 3 zone climate, our three young crew often use/fight over it. Being the age that they are, whoever is sitting in the nearest seat looks after their own comfort and to hell with the others. It's also used as a method of bating the others into action! "I'm too hot" or "I'm freezing" is often followed by a heated altercation, mild physical violence, screaming and raised voices from the front seats . As far as I'm concerned the design is missing a drivers overide lock. Yes, there is the SYNC button but they quickly worked out that it wasn't "broken" and they could continue annoying their grandparents. Is the only answer straight jackets for the little beggers?

If you know where I can get some California branded straight jackets, put me down for the group buy!

Isn't anybody bothered with the black roof? Doesn't that make it very hot under the sun?

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) retrofit would be at least £2-3k and no one knows for sure if it’s even possible.

ACC is a massive turn off for me.
I find it insanely annoying and in this country it doesn’t work. The road network is far to busy.

It’s easy to spot ACC on the motorways, because drivers don’t maintain a constant speed, which defeats the whole point of it.
Standard cruise all day long for me...

Interesting, have you tried it in a Cali with DSG?

DSG & Adaptive CC are my main 2 reasons I’m looking to upgrade my 2014 140 Manual Cali, which has standard cruise. I find slowing down and speeding up on the motorway quite annoying, I use cruise a lot.

I didn’t think I’d like it but now I love it. Takes a bit of getting used to, admittedly.

Give it a try before you buy, is my advice.

Ive driven ACC on a loan Caravelle & Golf. Both times find it annoying as hell.
The radar beam picks vehicles up too far away, even when set to the smallest distance.

 

[2haw]

I only used the ACC on my Golf R a handful of times when I had it, I've never been that bothered about cruise myself.

Don’t tend to slow down if I can avoid it by overtaking. Certainly cannot see the point of having my speed dictated by the car in front if it is safe to overtake.

You don't have to, just operate the indicator and the Cali accelerates past the car in front without any problem.

Don’t even have to do that, just put my foot down. That’s what Driving is all about.

 

[Bellcrew]

That of course is another option that the ACC allows as part of its normal operation.
Driving my Volvo with ordinary cruise control is a surprisingly second rate experience.

That is your opinion and a perfectly valid one.
Personally I prefer to be in charge not the computer. I decide when to brake not the computer.

 

[soulstyledevon]

That of course is another option that the ACC allows as part of its normal operation.
Driving my Volvo with ordinary cruise control is a surprisingly second rate experience.

That’s if you press the accelerator or indicator quick enough before it’s detected the car in front.
Or I’ve seen a gap in the traffic, calculated I can safely pull out in time, but then someone up ahead pulls out and the ACC determines I need to brake when I don’t.
Thus I miss my move or my speed is reduced.
With standard cruise you constantly monitor the traffic in front and behind and adjust accordingly.

Human brain calculates the requirements/scenario and environment more effectively than the computer...!!!

Ah well, I am the one who fell for the unique decals and gloss trinkets!!!
Think that they got the pricing a bit wrong and also the fact that it is only available in white not the five they mention. I had the windows further tinted, an extra two years warranty and the first years road tax included and it came in a lot lower than the figure they quote.
I am very happy with mine and anyone wanting to see it is welcome to do so at Tenby or West Bay.
