Isn't that some sort of homage to the original GTI?

Anyway, my first impression is that I like it better than the V.

I'm not sure because our U.S. market Jetta GLI's have the same cloth/pattern.

I have no problem with the seats. Thankfully I don't have eyes in my ass.

But I'm miffed at the little red ruler that ships as a standard with the grill. What's next - a spirit level?

Otherwise, yes, it is hot.

Hmm, interesting comments there Martin.

Overall, I quite like it -- I would change those dreadful wheels though.

Contrary to the standard Golf I'm impressed by what VW have accomplished here. The car looks perfect and doesn't need to be ashamed parked next to the Scirroco. Thankfully it's designed for the alive and youthful rather than the bland standard Golf VI targeted towards pensioners. Using the tartan cloth seats is very clever as well. Me like very much.

I'd swap out the Jetta wheels, but other than that it really looks the part.

Thanks Marcus, I remember that strip from years back - a lecturer of mine had a pristine example.

Honestly it has a completely different effect in the Mk 1 and Mk 5.

Here, however in this small grill the stripes look like a quick "heck where do we put the red stripe" afterthought. It's gaudy.

To be honest I'd really hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. I remember when the GTI had red ignition wires underhood too.
