Rattle from driver's side dashboard.
This car is amazing. Easily doing over 50 miles-per-gallon yet with performance to seriously challenge my previous BMW-328. Overtaking is an absolute joy, just make sure you've got 1700rpm on the tachometer and off you go.. with a six speed you're never lost for a gear. What a hoot!
The brakes snatch when first pressed, but then need firm pressure to lose speed quickly, making smooth braking quite difficult.
Engine noise is ever present, more so than in many of todays competitors, but it isn't too bad.
Ride comfort on the standard suspension is good (The PDGT150 is too harsh for distance traveling).
I humbly suggest your 328i had something wrong with it! The Golf's quick, but not THAT quick.
