Why the big dislike of 5 door Golfs Watts?
Mid life crisis 
If I'm going to buy something sporty I don't want it to look so practical, may as well buy a Volvo estate and a pipe and be done with it (no offence to 5 door model owners, only my personal opinion 
).
Fair enough, can't argue with that. My GTI was 3 door and I loved the look of that car but the long doors and my narrow garage didn't get along.
What's on offer here may bear no relation to what we eventually get here in the UK. Lots of options, like alcantara trim, have not been offered in the past. Some of this looks good, but who knows? Like the look of those black Prets! I could see a set of those on my TS car. 
Yes, our spec is likely to be very different again and there are bound to be bits we don't get.
It would be nice if Prets come as an option on the GTI too. After the CS coming with that option it can't be bemoaned as an exclusive R design any longer.
Silver White looks an interesting colour. Similar to MINI's shade hopefully which is great, it really hides the dirt and swirls. I'm glad they've gone to Indium Grey too, I could never quite gel with Greige LSG.
