Fun and practicality.......I had a BMW e92 335i before and it was not as much fun to drive as the GTI and useless for everything else. I fact I have kept this car longer than all the others I have owned and will not be getting rid of it any time soon as it does everything I want it to and always leaves me with a smile on my face and wanting to keep driving.

I dread the day self driving cars are the only option.

The fact that it puts a smile on my face every time I put the key into the ignition.

Just to counter the other thread, let's have some positivity!
Don't mention the war! :grin:



Dynamic Light Assist is amazing.
I'm amazed by the performance of my GTI compared to my GTD.
The Art velour seats lifts the interior up a level.

I was doing so many miles I stopped enjoying driving. The GTI has fixed that. It's just an amazing car :cool:

Agree!  :grin:

I have tried to buy a new Bmw 1-serie or a A-Class Merc....But that was inpossible...The cars don´t feel as premium as the Golf. :grin:

I love the fact that with the car rammed full of people and Christmas presents I did a round trip of 180 miles in -temperatures and averaged 38mpg. Oh and this was on the original Bridgestones which never once lost grip 😉...... just saying.

Yeah could have been but even flooring it out of roundabouts it didn't even flash the traction control light and it never has.

Basically the amount of standard features that you get which would be an additional option on most other manufacturers

This! Looked long and hard for something something equal, but bigger...still looking!

So it seems there's more to complain about the MK7 than there is to praise, 16 replies in 11 days against 90 in 10 days on the whingeing thread.... :rolleyes:

Universally admired. Such a class act, gets checked out the whole time. Relatively rare, especially in Reflex Silver.
Great balance of qualities. Never embarrassing to be seen with or in.
I always look back as I walk away.
Passengers love the interior.
Excellent drive, especially with pedal box.
It’s my third GTI (had a GTD before that).
Is that enough?
I’ll get my coat now.......
