I hate that in an empty carpark some wanker wants to park right next to your shiny new car , this happened twice yesterday and I just wanted to go off at them.

After 2 weeks ownership, there are only 3 things I don't like and 2 are related to the bluetooth (and possibly just down to an iPhone).
1. No contact photos are shown when spee dials are programmed in (seems to only work with some Android / windows based phones).
2. Biggest one is that the contacts on the phone are not availabe through the DIS in the instruments, requiring you to reach over to the head unit to find a contact, taking your hand off the steering wheel in the process - again, this might be iPhone specific ? Doesn't strike me as the safest way to make a call ! I tried using the Discover Nav Pro's voice commands, but just can't seem to get on with it.
3. In the UK the full colour DIS screen is standard on the GTI / GTD, but it's very poorly implemented. Other than a colour image of the car when the doors are open, and a slight hint of colour for line seperators etc., it's pretty much a monchrome screen. Even on the nav screen, the nav directions are not like Audi's i.e. with the direction arrows in a nice deep blue, but on the Golf they are standard white !
Other things are more slight dissapointments rather than don't likes...
1. I miss the red submarine lights coming down from the overhead panel (looked well cool at night), but I guess they wouldn't go with the MK7's new all white lighting set up ?
2. Would be nice if we could program the coming home lights to come on automatically rather than having to flash the mainbeam first.
3. Would have liked a setting to unfold the door mirrors on unlocking the car so that the puddles lights in the mirrors actually switch on and illuminate the ground as you approach. With the mirrors folded, the puddles lights don't work.
4. A 12V socket in the back (below the air vents would have been nice), for the kids to plug their electronic devices in.
5. Really can't see the point of the small A-Pillar windows ?

I'm pretty sure you can get the contact list displayed , I remember seeing it when the dealer was setting up our car , I haven't tried it yet but my wife is pretty sure it displays them

The Mk6 does this - have never checked in the Mk7
Auto coming home lights can be enabled in the Mk6 with VCDS too, someone will probably work out how to do it in the Mk7 eventually

European designed vehicles have had that as a feature for decades. For parking the vehicle on a narrow street. Can't see it as a problem-who would leave the turn signals on if they didn't want them on?

I did the mistake of leaving the indicator stalk on the left position over night, came back and the charge was at 90% so I'm not too worried. But this is more the owners problem than the car's fault.

You are so right with that one. They usually leave only a small gap between vehicles to make things as bad as possible. The mentality of these people makes me think if they had a brain cell it would be lonely.
I had a similar situation the other week when I went into a completely empty cinema. The next person arrived and sat immediately in front of me. Grrrr!

I came back to my car in the local shopping centre t'other day and had to enter from the left and climb over the console.
At 90 that ain't easy.
