It's wubbly
Haven't got any pics for you (Well, other than one from the showroom with the car under a burgundy 'reveal' type sheet...), I'll get some tomorrow hopefully.
Scared me ****less putting in the garage though. The driving position is SO different to the Clio. Having to park it closer in on the left than I usually do.

Indeed, the golf has always had a strong chassis, and build quality has generally been superior to that of its rivals - The diesel engine is amazing.
Although I do think as vw has grown in market share, they are not quite to the standard they once where, certainly in respect of trim.
It always makes me smile when people complain about vw prices, because the original value is offset by a very strong second hand value, and it has been that way for a long time.

I've got a 1.4TSI (The basic 122bhp one) and it's loads of fun, very easy and comfortable to drive and just a really nice solid car. Certainly no complaints from me. My brother who is used to cars with a bit more kick to them was very impressed with the power/response, as was my Dad - and even then Dad only saw the automatic I test drove and not the manual I have.
I don't know much about the technical side of cars and things like that, but I'm more than happy with my Golf
