The mirrors look really good Watts

A slightly less traumatic experience than before! Let’s hope your dealer visit is trauma free this time too!
Having had a boredom induced nose around the dealership whilst waiting for my own car to be serviced a few weeks ago I have to agree that a lot of the non performance facelifted Golfs do look dreary as hell and have to agree, I’d spend my money elsewhere if I didn’t want a GTI/D or R.
The pre-FL (non GTI/D etc) cars weren’t too bad inside with proper dials and more sculpturing around the head-unit but the later models are expensive and bland.
My money would be going towards a Polo/Ibiza/A1 or maybe something different altogether if I needed new or nearly new, but quite likely I think something older and better value would be a more enticing purchase.
