It is not a Golf by a long stretch!

Yes, there is a lot of tech and fairly decent engine. The DSG gearbox makes driving it easy. It's good but not great.
At first glance it may look like a Golf but it is not.
The inside is cramped when 2 grown men sit in the front as you keep bumping elbows. The boot is really small, I mean small!
Fuel economy averages about 35mpg on the display but the reality is closer to 30mpg. The start/stop system does random things at random times which I can never understand.
The wing mirrors are tiny to see out of. No auto fold mirrors, no auto dim rear mirror, no cruise control, no climate control, no auto down left mirror on reverse, no arm rest in the front, no arm rest in the back and no auto wipers! These things are all standard on the Golf!
Honestly just buy a Golf. This is not worth the money at all.
