The Golf really did get the rubbish version. Hey ho

Cobblers, this is an interim model, already way better than analogue. Sure the next golf will be better, but I’m well happy with mine for many years to come. My first purchase a mini van in 1965 with one big centre dial and string to open the doors, sliding windows. So you won’t see me whinging about much apart from build quality.
Arrived 15/5/17 Mk 7.5 R Lapiz 5dr DSG, Prets, Pan Roof, DCC, Rear View Cam.
Our other car is a Mk7 GTI DSG 5dr Tungsten, Vienna, Rear View Cam, Park assist.

Well compared to what the Cupra is getting in the new year I'm a little disappointed. I'd of liked the full map. Hey ho, the 300bhp will sooth my dismay.

A digital speedo is still displayed,

I see what you mean. That's ok.

I tell you what though... that infotainment unit! Looks as big as the 7.5 NavPro but actually still has buttons and knobs!

You can always compare your car to something else, but i'm very happy with the display.  Just think of the step up from the analogue dials on the mk7.  Coming from a mk6 i think they are great.
