if they had gone with the original interior instead of putting in the golf interior, it would have been a better car.
but like said above, if i had to have a VW i'd choose this over the golf.
my wife has a golf, and like you say, its well put together, not a bad car, but i find like all german cars, it lacks any kind of spirit inside. its all very clinical. has no quirks, and things that make it individual. just another well manufactured German drone.
