Boost, miles to empty, gallons used since starting engine, time since
last reset, average mpg, average speed.

Has the salesman driven a 1.8T? It comes standard with 15" wheels and is
somewhat lighter than the V6. The V6 already has the 16" wheels, there
are no sports seats available (at least not for 96) and the sport
steering wheel is a $150 option.
