Up until I saw a rising blue one in the flesh at the stealers I thought they looked pretty bland for the money, which I appreciate is - to some extent - deliberate.
But in the flesh the R's have a lot of prescence.  In the pictures the wheels seem small but in they don't in person.  The extra few mill lowering really makes a difference ... all the small things add up and while it is a little understated compared to the GTI I think it actually has more presence.
A contradiction in terms: 'understated' and 'more presence'. How?
Sorry, the R is an overpriced hatchback with a small boot, full stop.
Overpriced maybe.  Understated with more presence is not a contradiction.  A little dog meets a big dog, which one is doing all the barking and which one doesn't have to  :wink:

What's that got to do with the price of bread? :rolleyes:
Bow wow! :laugh:

I've seen the evidence of when a little dog meets a big dog :laugh: Our neighbour has a jack russell crossed with a German Shepherd.  It's a funny looking b****r :grin:

Its fashionable. Most top of the range / sport models have black wing mirrors.

I love white cars, I think that white R looks great too, I'm surprised I'm saying that.

Just one thing, I know that the interior is quality and I know how it feels and looks, but I think without the red stitching what comes with the GTI, well, it kinda looks like a normal interior now rather than something very smart and classy.
