I can understand that...but, by making you use the key fob, it lessens the chance that you will lock your keys in the car.

Nah, if the car has the lock button on the outside handle then the car won't lock if the car detected that the keys are still inside. Most Japanese car with push button start can do this.
But... OP... I dont see the problem still LOL. GTI is not a luxury car... Maxima is kind of a higher class car.... But then... Nissan sentra has it nowadays... It's just that GTI is not that high tech i guess lol

Thanks to everyone for breaking my balls on this post.

I wanted a brand new DSG GTI but couldn't swing the cost.
Found this ultra clean low miler 2011 and I am very happy with it now that I'm Ultrasonic tuned.

I am indeed spoiled by the integration on rival brands that this vintage of VW lacks.
I'm used to hitting the door button to lock the doors when exiting.
Why is there a button there at all if it's useless.
Car auto locks when driving away and auto unlocks when ignition is turned
off.
It's just a weird quirk that I will have to get used to.

I'm having a JLAudio10" sub and 1,000 watt amp installed next week to take care of the stereo .

Its there so you can lock the door when you enter the car if you arent pulling away or just sitting and waiting for someone but want to turn the car off etc.

Just wait til German over-engineering kicks in for you.. You'll be real happy with the change.. I of course prefer the build quality (and am prepared to deal with the nuances of owning a VW).

I can agree that the clip system on the fuel cap on our GTI's absolutely sucks. I also have a 2013 Jetta and the design for holding the fuel cap on the hinge of the door is brilliant. The difference just blows my mind.
