Mk 8 Golf

[Craig]

I really really wanted to like the mk8. For me the Mk7 especially the CCS that I have is just the nicest looking hatch made. The interior on the 7.5 is just perfect. Functional and ergonomic. Same could be said for my previous M140 interior. It was just a nice place to sit and you didn’t have to go through a million menus or swipe your bloody hand to change a station. This car is just well no. The front lights are dreadful. The dash is just like a polo. Really disappointed.

Quote like it front the front from this angle.

The white one also has a honeycomb lower grill. It’s a gti. Totally!

That's the new GTE, so I would expect some overlap with the GTi in terms of styling. Like the Mk7, they're not the same, but there's a close resemblance.

Correct sir.

Ah, the new larger Polo is with us.
Name badge across the centre of the boot? Check.
Weird fake dual exhausts in the bumper? Check.
Black plastic hexagons like 50% of all cars in the last decade? Check.

Some minor details that I gleaned;-

Looks like Dynaudio is being replaced by Harmon Kardon
Hard touch plastics on the rear door capping 
DSG now shift by wire with a smaller lever
Wireless Apple CarPlay available   
No more hydraulic struts to hold the bonnet up.
LED headlights standard throughout the range (matrix LED available as an option)

Apparently the new Mk8 will have features like the Matrix lights that can be activated after purchase for £££.

DLC has come to the Golf.
