That steering wheel looks sh!te. It doesn't look in the least bit befitting a sporty hot hatch, far too dainty looking.
It's not in a hot hatch, it's in a Tiguan.

But I think it's the same wheel in pictures of the GTI interior? I wonder if badgeskins will do a red VW logo kit to complete the look?

That’s a proper “clown face” steering wheel, too! 🤡

So it is. I'd never noticed that before but now can't stop seeing it  :grin: :grin:

Yes, this is the mk8 GTI steering wheel; same design as the one in the Tiguan;

That was precisely my point. Does this mean that the Golf range only get 1 steering wheel, with or without embellishments and flat bottom this time around, or do we have a worse standard Golf steering wheel?

Can't remember what it looked like in the showroom when I saw the MK8.

I think it's that the central bit isn't round that makes the aesthetics look off.
