Yeah, I was somewhat surprised by the price of the loaded Golfs - OTOH, VW seems to have made a bunch of the features standard that were previously optional. Seems like a decent deal - if you actually wanted those features.
Where are you finding the list of standard features?
I can't seem to find what is standard on each trim?
