The VW dealership in Hayward, CA applied the high voltage battery management software update to my 2016 eGolf today. So far so good. I shouldn't notice any changes and so far I don't.

The SE can be fine but it depends on your driving needs. Today I'm picking up and dropping off an older relative so she can take part in our Christmas celebration. The round-trip is 60 miles and I'll be doing that twice. It's the most I've had to drive on any one day. The pickup went fine, I'm...

Thanks bizzle. I'll try Scotchgard.

I have a 2016 silver eGolf and could hardly be happier with it. The car is great. However, there is one annoyance I'm hoping some of you have solved. First, let me say that I'm not a slob. My cars are clean inside and out. After reading the rest of this post, you'll probably be thinking of the...

I completely agree about Elon Musk's claims and the probable release date of his Model 3. Even the Model X is only in very limited release and it's a couple of years late already. But there are other cars coming out that offer good range at a low cost. I see 2016 Chevy Volts on my commute to...

Thanks JoulesThief. Before exploring VW's TSB I'll try cranking up the seat heater. Maybe the warmth on my posterior will be enough of a diversion ... and I can always throw a pair of light gloves into the car. That might work. VW's manual warns that the seat heater can even burn particularly...

I turn on the heater in my 2016 SE and wait for warmth to enter the cabin, but I can barely tell if it's making any difference. Thank goodness I live in California or I'd have to bundle up in three coats to travel any distance. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any tips.

I'm the original poster and I'm glad to see so many people getting excellent deals, some even better than mine. I did receive my $2,500 check from the State of CA last week and promptly deposited it. So my original out of pocket of $3,200 was reduced, in fact, by that $2,500 and I'm pretty...

Vladimir, glad to hear you got a similar lease in Glendale. I'm liking this car more every day. If you go into Eco mode, switch from P to B and activate the strong regen braking, you can get over 100 miles per charge. (I also turn off the air conditioner and roll down my window.) This is so much...

I don't know why missing out on the owner loyalty would boost the lease price so much. It should only be a difference of $55 per month, so the $79 lease should be about $135, not $179. To answer stevestrange, the miles are limited to 7,500 per year.

I'm in Northern California, the East San Francisco Bay Area to be specific. This same lease deal seems to be offered at a few VW dealerships around here, including Sunnyvale. Got mine at the Hayward dealership. Truly the only bad thing about my SE is the 3.6 kw onboard charger, which would make...

I just picked up an eGolf SE at the $79 (+ tax = $87) lease rate. I qualified for the $2,000 credit as a current VW owner. There was a $625 loan initiation fee. Of course I had to pay tax and license, so the total out of pocket came to about $3,200. But today I applied for the $2,500...
