Favourite design features on the GTi?

I have a feeling you have to be going >5 mph

I love having to take the wheel arch liners off along with half the front bumper just to change a headlight bulb

Same here, was one of the best 3 hours of my life Having said that, I bet the Golf is not the only car that offers that particular opportunity for personal improvement...

Halfords fit them for £16.90 

Fun fact on the Renault Modus you have to take the entire bumper off and remove the headlights to change the bulbs, at the time Halfords charged £10 to do this and very quickly they stopped offering the service to just the Renault Modus specifically because it took them a few hours to change them

Functional design, really - but I love the fact I can just open the door and it stays put. The other half's Merc GLC, you either can't get in, or you whack it against the wall!

Did not move from the mk6 because of digital display and lack of handbrake until a few months ago. I think the mix of buttons and display menu options is spot on in the mk7.5 and I like it a lot.
Did not think I would be happy with keyless but convenient and can easily be disabled. Still miss the handbrake a little but the hold function is very useful at times. Had hill hold on my scirocco but almost useless.
Seats not as comfortable as the mk6 and took a while to find a comfortable setting and this is probably the most disappointing aspect of the car for me. I assume there was a weight reduction (and big cost saving! ) otherwise cannot see why they went backwards with this aspect of design.
Like the performance compared to the mk6
