I believe they use to be made in germany for the higher end golfs but not anymore.
One thing i can't stand on my brothers GTi is his taillights. They just look cheap compared to the euro version.
Fun little car but def. has trouble putting the power down unless you get some serious tires.

Ofcourse we will tout it's german lineage. Lol!! It's german. Doesn;t matter where the assembly line is.
Are BMW's built in South Africa ... African?
FWIW, I had both the '13 MK6 (Germany) and now the '17 MK7 (Mexico), and if I were to trust my own subjectivity I would say the "Mexico build" quality, finish and lack of squeaks/rattles seems to be superior if anything. But then again that may be the independent rear suspension and leather tainting my judgement.
