I've owned my car for three years but never knew the center console had hidden feature

A MOTORIST discovered a hidden feature on his car three years after buying it.

The car enthusiast shared his findings on TikTok leaving some viewers shocked.

The TikToker who goes by RambusH (@rambushtv) filmed the video in his Volkswagen Golf.

"This is so cool #cars #vwgolf #carsecrets," he wrote in the caption.

The driver told viewers: "I bet you didn't know you could do this on a Volkswagon Golf.

"Wait until you see this!"

He added: "Check this out...I have owned this car for three years. I never knew you could do this.

The TikToker got into the driver's seat and demonstrated how the armrest is too short for him to comfortably use.

"See this...normally you'd have to do the seat back," he said.

However, using a secret lever underneath the armrest he was able to draw it forward.

"Grab it like this...yeet...now you're talking," he said.

"I never knew you could do this, I just found out - amazing."

Viewers were amazed by the feature with one saying: "Brilliant! had my Golf two years never knew either. Nice one."

Another praised the feature as "elite" saying: "Mk4 golf armrests are elite, an actually usable armrest."

However, others were surprised that it took the car enthusiast so long to find.

"Took you three years of ownership to know how an armrest works," one wrote.

Another added: "How did you not know that in fairness."

"So many cars can actually do that," a third said.

Meanwhile, others shared additional armrest hacks including secret cup holders.

"When it’s out like that you can adjust the height of it also," one informed viewer told the TikToker.

Another said: "It also has cup holders in the back.

"On the back seats you pull the middle part down" to reveal a secret armrest with cupholders.

Meanwhile, other drivers are just finding out they can be fined for using an everyday feature in their car after 9pm - but there's a catch.
