The T-Roc dash top belongs on a Dacia. Hideously cheap to the feel, yet the T-Roc isn't a budget VW. Seems like VW decided to experiment to see what VW buyers will and won't tolerate on interior trims with that one.

Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

And yet people will probably still buy them.  :rolleyes:

I noticed in the new Tiguan I drove recently that there were some nasty hard plastics in places where my Golf is nice and soft.

I had a basic mk7 as a loaner once but I can't remember if the interior was different to my gtd. Are they significantly different other than the seats and steering wheel?

Still not clear whether that's gti announced or ready to order... I think you'll be lucky to see any in the UK before next Christmas. Even then it will be a case of ordering blind...

Hmmm, pretty much confirms my existing concerns regarding the button-less tech extravaganza.  More and more I'm feeling that the GTI is going to have to drive sensationally to tempt me out of my 7.5.
