Is the Golf 8.5 "fixed" ?

[Mercutio]

I'm genuinely keen to order one of the new Golfs. Manual, petrol, with the updated ICE and buttons.

My understanding from the precious little online that's clear and easy to read, is that

- the ICE, which was dreadful and difficult to use in the old, is now upgraded

- the weird haptic touchpads on the steering wheel have been replaced with 'real' buttons

- the HVAC controls underneath the screen, which weren't backlit (making for nightmare adjustments in the dark on the move) are still touchpads, but now backlit.

The question I have is,

Has anyone seen a Golf 8.5? Or seen a review of one? Is it "fixed" so to speak in terms of user experience?

I'm the sort that would buy it and keep for 10 years, I'm genuinely in the mentality that I want a last-of-the-ICEboxes, that I can just spec up to a ridiculous level and then keep and forget.

Thanks in advance

While I'm here, I wonder if anyone knows when the ID3 is 'fixed' with the HVAC controls and haptic buttons as well?
