Any fogging or steaming up of the windscreen guys?? this annoys the hell out of me on my mk6

Problem in the mk6 for me too, not a problem yet - time will tell.
I found a monthly clean with Autoglym glass polish helped a lot.

Does rain still drip through the driver's door window if it's open half an inch when it's raining? Still annoys the hell out of me.

Never noticed this in the mk6 or mk7.

Why would you have the window open?

Because I prefer fresh air to aircon, even on a rainy day.

I had to use rubber lubricant on the window/door seals already due to squeaking. Perfect once i did that. It's no surprise, I've had the same issue with every car I've had.

The drivers wiper is hopeless. Big dirty smear.

The dash does collect a lot of dust.

The wheels aren't as easy to clean as they look!

The rear end on every Golf has always been a dirt magnet. It's a lot do do with the shape of the car, the slab-sided vertical hatch sucks the dirt up.

Agreed on the Nav / radio. It'd be nice if you could see on screen what radio station is tuned when in Nav mode. It already shows the clock, the phone signal, etc so why not the radio info.

1) Intermittent squeak from drivers door now and again - I don't know if its something to do with the rubber seals

I get the same problem, only when the wife is in driving the car though :huh:

The wiper blades seem to have become quite an issue. According to this:

Bosch are releasing a new set of blades for the Mk7. Possibly a free dealer replacement?
