Quite like the look of these.

If I was in the market for something smaller and wasn't spending so much time on the motorway this would definitely be on the shortlist.

All my OH wants from me is this - :lipsrsealed: Although she is quite happy to discuss sales of her book...

I’m going for a grey/black 3 door to replace our R hatchback. The R estate will stay for family duties.

Really excited about it, think VW have nailed it, great price and not so hard edged that it isn’t useable day-to-day.
Current – Mk7 Golf R, Night Blue, 5dr, Manual / Mk7.5 Golf R, Indium Grey, Estate, DSG

I was tempted by black but you lose the stripes and the detailing

Similarly to you the 5 door is staying as not really used

Seems a real buzz about them which I think has been helped by the reviews

The CAR review is particularly good – http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/volkswagen/vw-up-gti-2018-review/

Does your dealer have a demonstrator yet?
