my only issue with my new GTI is the big design flaw in if you have the driver window down without any other windows it makes a horrible wind buffeting noise. |

This is a nearly universal "all new cars" thing. It's a combination of how aerodynamically efficient, how well sealed, how tightly toleranced, and how well built they all are now even compared to 15 years ago. And also the shape and placement of your side mirrors.
Even with both windows down, there is significant buffeting in the Camaro at 50mph +...unless driver or passenger have an arm on the windowsill which breaks up the airflow enough to disrupt the standing wave of air.
