The main thing I got from that is how utterly, horrifyingly hideous the BMW's styling is!  The Mk8 Golf looks comparatively svelt and stylish parked besides that thing.

Baffles me people saying the Golf is ugly while lauding the 1 series. As Mat says, the Beemer looks great at the rear, but the front and side views are 💩

You fail to understand comparisons of the latest generation of cars. The rules are different now.

How many of the viewing angles look good?

With the BMW you said its the rear, the Mk8 is none.

BMW wins  :laugh:

Compared to the new golf- where the back, front, side and interior look double sh!t!

I'd take a Mk8 GTi over the 1 Series from any angle, except maybe the rear. I realise my preferences may go against the grain of popular opinion on here, but to me the front end of the 1 Series looks like a cartoon rabbit and the side profile is a bit banana-esque. So for me the Golf wins  :whistle:

I don't like the BMW, I prefer the Mk8 Golf. It's just an opinion, please don't be offended  :smiley:
