The interior continues to be a letdown, for sure. The 8.5 interior changes may help usability, but aesthetically it's basically a downgrade with an even bigger tablet.
I think just for pure fun they are almost in a class of their own still.
I wish they'd have slapped the Audi S3 dash in the MK8 Golf. I like that wacky dash in the S3 a lot.

I agree the Golf is a hoot, but I think you're just better off buying a MK7.5. You get the same fun experience...but in a better looking car, with a still functional interior.
For me, running everything through a screen is a deal killer. My wife just bought an Acura RDX (coincidentally at a VW dealer) with a pretty ridiculous screen/track pad setup...it's needlessly complex to even change a radio station. I don't understand how this is considered progress.
