I think for me it would be

Wheels - now on my 3rd GTI with polished alloys and previous 2 GTI's had to all 4 replaced under warranty. Current one has 1 wheel already going.

Colour choice, would have liked a few more choices.

Apart from that and having a Friday car which seems to develop a new rattle every few months. Been back 4 times in a year for different rattles it's well specced and great to drive.
On Order - Mk 8.5 Clubsport Pure White, Queenstown, DCC.
MK 7.5 R Pure White, Pretoria Silver, DCC, Rear Camera.
Gone - MK 7 GTI Carbon Grey, Rear Camera, Service Pack.
Gone - MK 6 GTI  Reflex Silver, Monza Shadows, RCD 510, Rear Camera, Bluetooth, Tyre Pressure Sensor, Xenons Convenience pack, Service Pack :)
Gone - MK 5 GTI Reflex Silver, Monza II 18's, Luxury Pack, Mulitchanger

Without moaning on too much ..........

Alittle more bhp for the PP option

Wheels!!!!! My god I hate cleaning and drying that stupid groove
Wheels!!!!! I have nightmares thinking of when the dreaded worm is going to appear
Wheels!!!!! Could do with hub spacers as standard to just move them out slightly

VW to have spent a couple of quid extra to make sure the hubs have a good coat of paint (3k in 16 months and never seen rain this car and the hubs are red rust)

Happy with 2 exhausts but would have rather seen them bigger diameter and closer together, aka the new TT

Next time they design a car, never mind wind tunnels, get someone in to wash the dam thing and sort out all those places where water hides and blurts out everytime you turn your back

Would have liked to see it sit a little lower too as standard

Driving - MK7 GTD, 5 Door, CSG, DSG, Santiago's

I dunno about that, but similarly, the ledge created by the rear bumper fills up with road muck after about 200yds after you have washed it.

I know its caused by the squared off rear creating a vacuum but *scream*

Quite what its like for you super detailing obsessives, I don't care much for car cleaning, but it even drives me MAD.
