loving that interior 
Don't think anyone comes close to matching the quality of Audi interiors 
Aye, there is a notable difference in quality between Audis and the rest of the VAG range.
Before we bought SWMBOs GTI, we also looked at the Fabia vRS (don't laugh, its a cracking car, just a little too small), a Seat Leon (

interior, and

exterior, and shyte driving position), and also the Audi A3 sportback.
OK, the Golf isnt too bad, but the Seat was just shocking quality, inside and out, crap quality welding in the seams, sh!t switchgear, poor quality plastics, not very ergonomically designed.
The Skoda on the other hand, felt just as well finished (screwed together) as the Golf, but the switchgear was slightly more "frumpy" (though better than Seat), and the levels of kit were lower.
