It's the same to all hatchbacks. When my brother cleans his black (metallic) mk6, the water and sponge becomes fairly soon the same colour(!), there is some amount of shoot in the rear door, from the tailpipes and the brake pads. It's down to the fact that there are great turbulence of the air stream after the hatch back. I thought it would be reduced in the mk7 GTI/GTD because of the vertical wings either side of the rear screen. But it seems I thought wrong! Anyway, I tend to be a little weird, so I like cars with some dirt on them gained on the road-trips as they seem to be used and not being stationary like in a showroom. They are made to be used after all! I'll get some proper (filthy) pics when I get mine and make a trip. It'll be the first pics here of a car after a battle in its natural habitat!!! 
I'm with you on this - I do like to be able to see out of my rear window BUT I do like a car, especially in winter, to look like it is used and the road salt and dirt in winter can make a performance car look really mean!
