Only one...

Don't care if it is only one item, I love everything about the car, it is all so well geared up to the driver experience down to the comfort of the seats, the position of the steering wheel the ACC (if you have it) the sound system (dynaudio - fab) and the look of the car, it's not overstated like some fast hatches it is neat and tidy and in Pearl black looks pretty awesome.

PS If I had to pick one thing overall it would have to be the ACC this is a superb addition to the GTI which just improves the overall effect.

I'm struggling with the steering wheel position...I can't get the damn thing close enough for my liking. I want the seat back far enough to get comfy, but find the wheel 1-2" too far away for 'my' ideal'.

So I want a 2" longer steering column and a round steering wheel please Mr VW.

I'm not sure if you know but the steering wheel goes in and out (to get closer to you) as well as up and down

Mine is a MK5 but still going to post.  Best thing i did was change the 17'' Monza to Edition 30 alloys.

Oh yes, I'm aware of that. 
It's fully out...just not out far enough.

What is?
The silly fashionable flat bottomed steering wheel?

Great for posing...not too great for proper driving.


Are VWs interior designers Italian, or Apes?
Either way, they must have short legs and long arms.

I am tall with long legs and arms and hence sit further back.
There is definitely not enough reach with the steering wheel. Even Auto Car remarked on this. Just can't get into a comfortable driving position which is mildly disappointing. Two to three inches more reach and it would be perfect.
One small point: The steering wheel diameter could also be a touch less.
As for the flat bottom part, well the steering wheel is no longer a wheel anymore in the true sense!
