I have just bought a new Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI DSG, but I have a few niggling issues with the car. What’s your recommendation when stationary at traffic lights or queuing? I am reluctant to sit with my foot on the brake pedal as this could dazzle the driver behind. Should I put it into ‘park’ or ‘neutral’?

I must also say my other niggle is the handbook that comes with the vehicle. As is common these days, it is a generalised book that covers a range of models. In many instances this is very confusing as it is by no means clear whether the model you own has the feature listed or not. Surely in this day and age it is not too difficult to tailor the book to the exact car?
