Default Wha else am I missing

I've have had my 92 Polo Coupe for 20 months and driven over 12K miles but I realize that Irealy don'tkno it that well. I keep finding features (mostly conveniece type items) that I did not know were there. I would probably have discovered these if read the manual from end to end, but I was never one to read more then I needed to. I have however kept up on all the maintenance

for instance:
-recently discovered the switch on the edge of passeger door that opens the hatch. I always used the button nsiethe console.
-while working on the rear speaker I noticed a handle on the back wall. low and behold it was a security cover that pulls out and locks to cover the rear storge area .
-a couple of months ago, I found the switch on the sport seat that widens and tighten the side panels on the seat.

What other little surprses are hidden wihin my C4.

Thanks

Well several people have made these discoveries along the way just like you. I found mine in the most obvious way by reading the owners book in the glove compartment. I guess im old school lol. How about the light under the rear end by the spare tire have you found that one yet? GC

Default More wonderful discoveries await!

If you keep your car long enough, you may discover the joys of Optispark replacement. If you are very patient, you might find the pleasure of replacing the heater core. Classify these as good times.

You're missing an " ' " and an "e".

The previous owner was kind enough to leave some potato chips for me.

Not on my '93, although the owners manual says it is on the drivers side. I will check the passenger side.
