I actually thought that RCZ was pretty awful looking up to a point.
To add (hopefully) my final comments in this thread; Golfs are mass produced the same as Pugs and Renaults. So you can expect faults and if you read forums and JD Power type surveys they seem to have more than their fair share of those. BUT if you've paid top dollar for a VW you will pick at every fault because you are buying a product that is marketed in this country as being a cut above the rest. If you buy a French car you expect electrical gremlins and naff plastics so you won't be disappointed if that's what happens, and if you don't get too many problems then you're well happy.
There is no right and wrong anwer to the OPs questions really and I wonder if it's all a bit of a wind up? Ya pays yer money and all that.......
As we've said, the Golf is a much bigger car than a 207 or Clio and should be squared up against a Megane or 307/8 or whatever it's currently called. The price of Golfs has gone up a lot in recent years, but so has the price of a Focus, Astra, Megane etc.
I've owned VWs for about 23 years and they've always been a bit dearer than the competition.
