couple of things good about this car
« on: 15 October 2009, 00:19 »
steering wheel is exceptional.  looks super sporty. compared to my audi tt mark 2 its so much better.  same with the alloy wheels.  off the dealer, there isn't many alloys like the monza shadows- i know u can get better from alloy places but i'm talkin dealers out there.  the black paint on them is fairly clever i think.  thats only my opinion.   they sort of excentuates the spokes.  you'd be hard pushed to get a nicer steering wheel on some very expensive cars, say porsche, merc, audi s5 even.  to me these are the best bits of the car.  to be fair the engine isn't that quick.  the 2 tail pipes left and right- very good, rear splitter also.  gearbosx is great - very smooth.

Agree with most of your points and I like the steering wheel, but I do find it to be a little "rough" to touch. Ie most leather steering wheels have a soft touch and smooth satin finish. The golf's is just a little rough, though this may wear down and improve.

I don't think its an issue with my wheel as the one I test drove had the same finish.

Anyone else find the same?

Following a Mk6 GTI I noticed the twin exhaust pipes bend out from a single small rear box, visible to all.  Looks  :sick:
