Same here... the cabin still has a premium feel to it regardless the trim. Some other cars have very good interiors too, but to me the Golf has something extra.
I noticed some cost cutting measures in this refresh though - minor or unnoticeable for most people but noticeable to me which I'm familiar with the car - the glove box is no longer felt lined nor lockable, the chrome strip on the rear doors inserts has been deleted. nothing major, but showing a trend (present on the 2019 GTI as well).
A bit disappointing is the fact that in this mid-cycle refresh, VW failed to add some needed features like heated rear seats and steering wheel or power outlets for rear passengers (12V or USB).
BTW: A small detail for the review - the model subject to this review is no longer called Highline but Execline. As per vw.ca, Highline is now the mid-trim replacing Comfortline.
