Agreed - you can see cost-cutting in the GTI on every corner - no sunglasses holder, touch-sensitive steering wheel buttons, no physical buttons and dials for volume, temp, and climate control, cheaper materials, no 360 camera even as an option, etc. The interior just looks...plain - 7.5 GTI was just better. Even my Mazda 3 BP Sedan looks and feels much better inside (outside too, actually).

Saw it in real life - the headlights sit at a weird angle, and the rounded grill doesn't mesh with them at all. The car looks like someone left it in the oven too long, it got bloated, and everything just stretched apart awkwardly. It just doesn't look like a BMW to me. Good value, and premium materials/tech, for sure, though. The GTI somehow looks worse than the 1-series now. The sad-looking headlights angled downwards make the hood look more bulbous, and then there's the mono-brow - it looks like some Skoda now. GTI 7.5 looked much better (and it didn't feel as cheap inside, either). Anyway - looks are very subjective, just my opinion.

I had five Golf GTI's from a Mk1 five speed, MK2 16V, MK2 8V 5dr, MK3 8V & MK3 16V. The Mk1 was great apart from no brakes (had to use special pads to fix), MK 2 16v was a nightmare cost a lot was poor quality but once fixed wonderful to drive. MK2 8 V was fine apart from clutch gone after 19,000 miles. Both the Mark 3 were absolute crap, poor quality, duff gearbox and changed the 8V after year to 16V which managed to be worse. In the end the dealer refused to fix an issue, went to another VW dealer fixed in an hour with a £40 part. VW HQ did not give a stuff so I sued got my money back and bought a second BMW and never looked back. They are not perfect but the dealers admit when they do not get it wrong and fix the problem. They do not tell you to sod off. Had 5 BMW since plus a Mini Cooper S and they have had some problems but are clearly quality products and a 323i and my present 530i have done 130,000 and 156,000 respectively and my 530i still pulls to 7000 rpm ! and has a lovely balance. VW are vastly overrated and expensive. I had great joy when they got caught out with dieselgate after the treatment we received from them. Really like the 128ti, and my daughter bought a new 118i Msport in 2018 and nothing has gone wrong, quite brisk and very frugal and a quality car. Customer service is key and VW don't care.

Like the 128Ti and you now get the larger screen and digital cockpit as standard from last month I just found out like in the m135i 👍

BMW for me. Neither are particularly good looking cars, but BMW wins hand down when it comes to the interior. Not only does it feel really well made but it retains buttons and the idrive wheel. Volkswizard’s video comparing it to the S3 was very interesting; VAG’s cost cutting is very obvious in the Golf and A3.

I miss the old 1 series design from 2015 to 2018 those were the best

Mk8 golf gti club sport has to be it for me. Performs slightly better, drives a lot better than both. Maybe even drives better than the golf; depends on the road conditions I suppose

Nice car but too small for some, nowhere near as good inside as the BMW (doesn't have many options at all with the circuit pack), oh and there's a full year waiting list aswell!

Mat, I have been driving and own a few powerful enough cars but our family car is a 2017 Skoda Octavia 1.0 TSI 7 speed DSG. I think the car is very quick for its engine and its size and I would love to see a video of a drag race between the various 1.0 turbo petrol engines out there.

Very interesting as a VW girl and someone who likes to hate on BMW I can’t argue with a single point. The only thing is; I have been with someone pushing a TI to its limits and it doesn’t seem to like it very much over a longer period of time. Hats off to BMW for creating a great drivers car, VERY cool that VW went back to offering manuals!
