Bummer they made the tank smaller in the GSW. My '15 Jetta TDI still has its 14.5 gal tank :)

Although the DEF is inconvenient, overall I appreciate the superior design of the EA288 over the EA189 (although both engines are excellent).

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. I feel just the opposite: my '15 GSW is a far nicer car than my '12 Golf. The Golf in stock form had significant turbo lag at low revs, risk of intercooler icing, poor FE, harsh ride with stock wheels and tires, and lots of rattles. The '15 is significantly better in all those areas. Only think I miss is the cloth seats in the '12.


Buy some cloth and have your local upholsterer do inserts: https://relicate.com/products/golf-mk7-style-plaid-tartan-fabric-grey
