4 the sound: it sound unlikely that the place where the wheel is, will influence the "bassline"
On RHD mk5 GTIs the steering column is in a 'bad place' in the engine bay meaning the air inlet is different to LHD cars which had a tuned induction sound. It is probably very similar in the mk6. I have only looked under the bonnet of my mk6 once and I notice that it looks quite different to the mk5 I had before.
Maybe I don't drive mine hard enough to get a decent exhaust noise. How hard do you have to be driving for the electronic exhaust amplifier thingy to work?
The thing I hear most when I'm driving is my door seals twittering.
