Despite choosing a non-Golf for myself, must agree with GG, above. The GTE drove very well. Relatively comfortable for a car with point-and-go handling. Sure it would be a most satisfying motor long-term, Similarly the GTD. Had the combination of that engine and gearbox in a Superb and it worked very well. Effortless, smooth and powerful.
Got used to the whole touch-screen thing quite comfortably and quickly. Surprising, but the system seems quite intuitive. Managed to reset aircon, drive profile and intrusive radio without even thinking about the manual. Only reservation was the amount of choices available. Three or four suspension settings, same again for driver profiles and then the whole electric/petrol/hybrid settings. Bit confusing but I’m sure you’d get used to it quickly.
