Saw a mk6 cabriolet advert today. Looks nice. Shame it's about to become colder.

It just looks dumpy and too short to me - just like the A3 which it effectively is. For mid £20k (which a new one will inevitably cost) I'd much rather be looking at used "grown up" cabs such as A5s, 3 series etc.

I don't think many men will be up for it, but I think it will appeal to most women especially those Thelma/Louise types.

As someone else said it looks a bit dumpy, like a Golf gone wrong  :evil:

I shan't be getting one.

According to VW there will be a version with the GTI engine but not kitted as such. There maybe an R version with R looks if demand is there.

Horrible.  Why would you consider such a thing?
