My wife has new 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI DSG. I have noticed that only the brake and accelerator pedals are in the alloy/rubber facings. The left footrest is merely the dark grey plastic. In the sales brochures, it clearly shows both the GTI and R32 with the alloy/rubber left footrest on the DSG models. |

Can't see it in the brochure myself, but it does have the note on the last page:- "Some illustrations in this document do not necessarily reflect UK specifications and may not be available.

only) information, I am, as well as being able to look at
pictures, can also read writing - even joined-up writing!
Regarding your quote from the brochure, I repeatedly find that VW
dealers are often the *last* to know about any change in
specification. They usually only find out about a change when a
new car is delivered to them on a transporter. However, the
sales brochure *does* form part of the contract of sale, and if
something *is* clearly visible in the brochure, but is not going
to be supplied to a specific market, then either the brochure or
other form of pre-sales contract should positively identify the
fact.
Your snippage to my original question has actually deleted the
important part of my request - ie: can any actual *owners* give
me some feedback.

You deserve that pedal, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Go to the dealer, walk into the general manager's office, have a big, screaming, histrionic fit, and then hold your breath until he gives you what you want. You deserve that pedal, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! |

I'd like to hear from UK, EU and North American owners. |
In a MkV Golf the 'alloy' is likely to be painted plastic that'll chip
and wear away anyway - leaving it looking worse than a plain plastic
item looks.
