The 3 best things about my Golf are.....

[Jimmymature]

1. Reversing camera
2. Rear LED's
3. Diamond cut wheels.


I'd happily swap my DSG box for Xexons and my swap leather for ACC though.

1. The looks

2. How it drives

3. How it makes me feel



More specifically,

1) The interior - whether it be the really comfy seats; the cloth trim; the dashboard layout; the interior "spaceship control" (as my mum calls it) at night or the general classy and not plasticky interior

2) Torque - I love the ability to instantly change the throttle and power delviery - woooosh!

3) Sat Nav/Bluetooth combo - never thought I'd really use them as much as I do and all my mates love the touch screen controls and the quality of the display etc. (not as much as I do though)


Three things I miss

1) 4 wheel drive (came from an Audi Quattro)

2) Xenons - never had but which I did

3) DSG - couldn't stretch to a DSG model at the time but would dearly love it!

The Seats - they are superb for me, almost tailor made.

The Nav - top notch for ease of use on the nav side, phone kit and music plus having the built in HD is a massive bonus as you don't really need to leave an iPod in the car.

The Engine - sootchuckers don't come any better than the motor in the GTD not in terms of out and out performance but in so much as it's great on fuel, very quiet and very refined in fact the only problem I can see is that this will cause me issues when changing into another car if it doesn't have this motor in it.

Agree with the seats!

Don't have NAV so can't comment. I'll instead go for my DSG gearbox here.

Agree with the engine. Albeit my car is the petrol but I agree with the direction of you're comments that the VW powerplants are amongst the finest engines within their categories.

Although the order of these could change depending what mood I'm in.

1) The xenons and rear LEDs - they attract lots of favourable comments.

2) The interior layout and seating - dashboard is so intuitive and classy looking and the seats are way too comfortable, it's like coming home to your favourite armchair.

3) The reversing camera, although for me this was a retrofit (wish I'd specced it at purhase time) it is a brilliant addition to the car and my friends are consistently impressed,  always asking me to put the car in reverse.

I absolutely love my car, it never fails to put a smile on my face and draws many admiring glances particularly when it is clean and gleaming in all its black glory.  I cannot see anything out there within the same price bracket that offers such a great package.

[Mr_F]

1) Xenons
2) Supportive Seats, surprisingly better than the plush A4 I had before it.
3) IT IS A GOLF! 

[Vman]

1) DSG
2) 4 Wheel drive
3) The cabin, its a really nice place to be!

[Ellsworth]

1. The fact that for the same budget nobody who I know would buy the same car (how much for a golf!). These cars are like rocking-horse-sh!t in Manchester. Knowing I bought the cool Q-car rather than the deisel Audi/merc/BMW bland exec barge option is the best thing about the GTI. Yes I am smug.

2. The engine-DSG gearbox combo. You cant assess the engine without the mentioning the gearbox. DSG is not perfect, but in the real world the confort commute/rag the arse off it on a B-road combo is true genius.

3. The way the rear LED's fade out when you turn them off and fade in when you turn them on. Has anyone else noticed this? Its fettish levels of engineering like this which make the car a joy to own. Go on, stand in the drive and keep turning your lights on and off!

Bad bits...

1. Front wheels constantly spinning in the wet in first gear.

2. erm??

3. erm-ummm-errrr?

The Car

1. Handling
2. Looks
3. Gearbox

The Other stuff

1. Leather
2. Xenons
3. Interior/Dash etc.

[AlanH]

1. RCD510 + Dynaudio + 8 speakers

2. The driver's seat

3. Carbon Grey + Charleston Shadows

[Jonny_D_1987]

For mine its:

1. The rain water getting in,

2. The engine vibration and crunching suspension noises,

3. The numerous creaks and rattles within the interior.
