If you're picking up a car, that opens a door or two for you. (If pre-arranged, you can even install your own steering wheel on your car before taking delivery.)

If going to the center as a normal visitor, just be aware that everything is viewed from a distance through the glass. There are good explanations and exhibitions. A Phaeton simulator for certain ages and above (I don't remember if it was a height requirement or age requirement). I just would have appreciated being closer to what little action was taking place behind the glass.

Overall, it was fun, but I would also say: (and I say this as a VW owner) at least one of their videos was just a bit too heavy on the why-you-should-love-VW marketing. Made me imagine what sect recruiting must be like. And there, you have the pleasure of having to pay for it!
