I happen to agree with you, having owned two A4s and two Passats, myself. All pretty much the same car, and a real pleasure to drive.

That's why it breaks my heart so much that VW's mechanical reliability has gone down the toilet in recent years.

Like I said even the latest model/s,especially the golf GTI looks phenominal.

They dont cut the car all up like the new civics amongst others.Not a fan of the newer yaris front end at all,its actually quite horrid.

Mind posting a few pics of your car and list mods?

The new civics are way too much. The type R is even worse. It says a lot if you have to cut a body up like that to make it look sporty. Look at the old Supras, not aggressive lines really and there's a handful of them in the Southern States pushing over 1k hp.

I don't mind some aggressive lines in a body and they sometimes can look good, but the new designs are getting ridiculous

I agree as well. I love my car (2016 MY 2DR), but I always have mixed emotions about the grill. I wish they broke it up a little bit. I am going to switch my L grille out for an SE soon because the Piano Trim mesh look of the SE dresses it a little bit nicer. The only thing I don't like about the Golf is the squared off front end. I always liked the 2003-2009 front end of the GTI best.

I like the look of the 2015-2017 SE honeycomb grill pattern, but it is HUGE pain in the ass to clean/dry and then detail with protectant. It is the biggest time-sink when it comes to hand-cleaning and detailing my car.
