I have a beard myself, it was a light hearted attempt at a joke.

Great video, and interesting camera shots that show the difference in suspension travel between the various modes.  Definitely glad I opted for DCC!

This is the subjective part I think as there are plenty who love the ST out there but I really struggle to see in looks externally and internally how it is ever preferred to the GTI? and even on road it seems something you spend most of time taming rather than enjoying.

That interior is garish, awful! and would genuinely just annoy me having to look at it each day with it's awkward over accentuated shapes - But that is me I suppose as I prefer minimalist which has an obvious feel of class and quality.

Good photos of white GTI and GTD side by side and think personally (biased maybe!) the GTD with Nogaro shades it. But fine details think both look great in white :)
