I meant to say Suspension Airbag troubles along with all those VAG products- was deep in the country in a V10 Toureg when the front bags broke to say it then had NO suspension and no clearance is an understatement
hopefully a normal Torque converter Tiptronic not S Tronic DSG will be OK.................

You mean the sad and darkened windows you find on any crappy Korean piece of shyte and that turn your driving experience straight into that of a long S-class? Hence no real added value?

Yes you got it in One!

My wife's Nissan Pathfinder has them (you can't have it without!) and in the back they turn day into night- so gloomy. Bearing in mind that in Inverness in December it is dark at 3.45 in the afternoon this is a problem!

The wheels will be 18s- the smallest it comes with on 55 profile tyres- making replacements more palatable and a better ride than 19s or even 20s.
