>iron block engine from the 90s
no thanks
wake me up when vdub makes a clean sheet all aluminum 2 liter 4 cylinder
also VW interiors have gone into the trash bin
Why did they give the 8.5 GTI normal buttons on the steering wheel but the R still has those dreaded shiny piano black capacitive buttons? It's bad enough the Golf lacks physical dashboard controls and now they punish those who spend more on the R kek

Because it has the unique R button and they didn't want to remake the steering wheel part that is only used in one model in their lineup. No I'm not joking. Reviewers weren't supposed to mention this but a couple let it slip.

This nigga's complaining about the best thing this engine has going for it. All the issues this design has had over the years, and you're upset over the use of iron?
>>28512446 (OP)
Who cares. VW has been in the toilet for the last 20 years. They abandoned everything that made them fun when they dumped manuals and went to electric boring boxes that burn up.

I've only seen them complain about it not explain why. That does make sense. But as long as they duck taped an iPad landscape I will skip until they fix their interior. Also give me back some fucking buttons holy shit, it's not hard. Buying a car in 2025 is abysmal.
