I agree with most of the sentiments here particularly around the styling - it's not a bad car but as I posted in the Mk7 forum, when I was followed by a Mk7 GTI last week I didn't go "wow" and to put £20-25k into the equivalent upgrade I'd need to do that.

I'm waiting for the R then will decide if I stay in the Mk6 or make my next car something non-VW....

Saw a 3 door Mk7 GTI today in white with its signature red lipstick which looked most odd. Looked quite ordinary but at least not as ordinary and frumpy as the new A3.  :sad: :rolleyes:

Hmmm. Looks like a bread van. The new A3 saloon is more pleasing IMO.
Anyway, I'm bored with VAG cars and designs.

Not that bored if you want to come on here discussing their merits.

Each to there own mate. I myself dont like BMW styling many others like yourself do. It would bw a boring world if we all liked the same.

I have to say I've been sorely tempted by some deals on drivethedeal for the MK7 gti.

Pretty much £3500 off the performance pack with all the extras. DSG etc...Very tempting...

The MK5 is better than both and the MK2 is better than them all.

IMHO of course.
