Hi, I was surprised when I first drove our 2010 Gti as the travel between 1 / 2 and 3/4 seems long -in fact if you select 1st / 3 rd & 5 th quickly your hand nearly touches the centre console under the heating controls ! To make matters worse ours had a horrible Parrot phone kit and the screen was stuck right in front of the gear lever - you could initiate a phone call trying to select 3 rd gear- it was promptly removed 😁I have shortened my shift lever using a small hacksaw by a couple of inches and this makes it feel much better. Cheers
