This is a great storage and far bigger than a coin or watch holder and lined...I keep forgetting it's there. Good place to store some spare dollars just in case.
I had two 95 Neons and actually bought them in late 93.My 05 Dodge neon DOESN'T have an interior trunk release. The only vehicle that I've owned that I had to use the key to open yhe trunk.
I do like that feature especially in a traffic jam..Auto Hold on our '20 Santa Fe. It allows the brakes to be applied even without your foot on the brake. Good for going through drive-thrus, I guess. Never used it. Just read up on it recently when my wife accidentally pushed the button, called me at work, and asked, "What's this mean?" when it got illuminated on the dash!
Our family legend Lumina had a button in the glove box I think it was for the trunk but I can’t say for certain now.I had two 95 Neons and actually bought them in late 93.
Weird but true. One was a base model with grey bumpers and the other a top trim. I remember the top trim having a trunk release. Don't remember the base trim though...
The great Neon feature was the rear lights would fill up with water. The dealership did nothing so I drilled a small drain hole on each. Funny the lights never failed...
That said I have had a few cars with the trunk release in the glove box...yeah...dumb...
Great!Our family legend Lumina had a button in the glove box I think it was for the trunk but I can’t say for certain now.
VW! Those guys are always surprising me. I like the little cubby you pictured, I used it for my tire pressure gauge. Speaking of tires, the Passat had a TPMS reset button in the glove box, now that was handy. There was also something clever with the hood release, it would not work with the engine running unless the driver’s door was also open. Presumably so you couldn’t accidentally pop your hood while driving down the highway.
The Mustang has a little cubby like that too. I’d owned the car for weeks before I found it.
Does the Passat have remote start ?Our family legend Lumina had a button in the glove box I think it was for the trunk but I can’t say for certain now.

On the 3rd Gen LS a person needs to be a trapeze artist or contortionist with a traveling circus, if they want to reset the tire monitoring system. It’s what’s different than the German engineers.Our family legend Lumina had a button in the glove box I think it was for the trunk but I can’t say for certain now.

The Crosstrek has no rear hatch release from inside, even in top trim.I remember the top trim having a trunk release.
Mine did not. The Mustang has it through the Ford app but not on the key fob. VW would not allow that end around on the Jetta, I did not have the VW app when I had the Passat but I would expect same deal there.Does the Passat have remote start ?
The bad think about VW is it hounds you if the car idles and if you get out with it running it usually shuts you down.I just saw VW advertising a feature that starts the car when you sit in the seat. all I could think was that it was too much effort for their customers to push the start button..
