I miss my mk6 GTD too - also carefully spec’d. Of the five VW’s I’ve owned, it was the best one; best build quality and the best, most comfy and supportive seats.

Whilst I find the electric handbrake and auto hold OK I would swap both of them for a traditional mechanical hand brake in a heartbeat.

I really like the auto handbrake and auto hold, but do agree the seats really are lacking compared to previous generations, would near consider swapping them as of late. Always wanted a mk6 myself but when I was looking at them the prices were coming down hard.
