Can anyone advise if the centre armrest can be raised and extended so you can rest your left elbow on it (just like the Golfs)?

If so, how does this impede if at all, access to the MMI controls which reside in front of the armrest?

Don't know how the Golf one works, but you can extend it, and can have it stop higher up and it does not impact on the MMI control.
 
Yes seems to be similar to the one in my friends golf, can't comment on how it interferes at different heights though as mines usually at the lowest position but forward and seems to work fine at this.
 
It can be raised to regular intervals and also extends and retracts as you like. And no it doesn't impede controls, in fact this is one of very few cars I can do things without having to look at the button I'm pressing. Much more intuitive than my S5 and the A6 I had.
 
The operation of the arm rest is exactly the same as the Golf.

I don't have any trouble using the MMI controls when it is fully extended.
 
My previous car was a Golf Gtd, the arm rest is the same no difference that I have noticed. Plus point old golf had conventional hand brake and the arm rest did get in the way of that a little. New A3 - has the pull and push of the button arm rest does not get in the was at all.
