VW Golf giving me tips on driving, what the fuck is this jazz?

Who is actually going to sit there and read it apart from some sad twat like me?

They should of had a reminder not to cheat the emissions system...

I haven't a driven VW Golf for some time. Are these message real? If yes - I sense it took hundreds of hours of combined effort between product managers and software engineers with extra time while another team has been instructed to focus on parallel, yet eye opening activities.

The "Think Blue" one is truly horrific...i mean you can see some of Bronchos face..

Surprised it doesn't cut the engine as soon as you start it and then puts up a message saying you should get out and walk to save the planet

Use Convenience Consumers in Moderation?

Come again lah?

EDIT: The irony of both sides of aircon being on minimum 'LOW' setting at this point.

Indeed.

The irony of a VW having that up on the display, only from the monkey gassers. At least they managed not to have a natty slogan saying MPG sets you free.

They can't even get the English right: "Comfort high, fuel consumption low"
That should read: "comfort high, fuel consumption high" otherwise it means you have to drive around with air conditioning on max for best fuel economy.

It actually should read "FFS, if you need me to tell you how to drive then you really should be on the ferking bus, moron"
