As a former owner of an MK7 Golf R I feel the new interior is a step down as it's very plain and plasticky looking.

Problem is that these cars are developed with the DSG in mind seeing the Audi version (A3/S3) doesn't even come with a manual. The Golf R feels neutered with the manual compared to the DSG. It's not a particularly good manual transmission and the clutch is weak as it's an afterthought thrown in primarily for the North American market.
