4.5 stars
Reworked engine, revised chassis and new digital interior sharpen the appeal of the standard Golf GTI
Some negatives about motorway drone (possibly related to sport mode being enabled and the actuator) and low speed/high speed DSG shifts (shunts and downshifts from high revs)
how in the hell is it a reworked engine? I've seen a few articles say the same but it's exactly the same engine that's in the 7.5
The pulsating start button is classed as significant engine reworking you know!
The reworking is probably further hidden component cost cutting.
