It is nice agreed,my plan is to hold out for the mk8.At least the mk7 won't look dated next to this mk7.5.
It's only us golf connoisseurs that will notice.

I didn't even think to zoom in on those wheels -just assumed they were a Cadiz replacement, but upon zooming in those wheels are clearly on 19" P-Zeros. For me they look better than Cadiz but i'd still rather have Prets than those.

The wheels are an improvement on the Cadiz (a set of wooden wheels off a horses cart would be better than the cadiz), but I'd still have the prets any day of the week - especially as they're such a cheap option here in Ireland.

Overall I think the changes are good. They've given it a beefier look which goes some way towards countering the argument that it looks like a 1.6 Bluemotion. The gloss side skirts and beefier intakes are an improvement. And I like the Audi-esque tail lights.

Would I change though? It'd be my 3rd MK7 and I'm not sure there's enough changes to justify it! The car would still feel really similar to what I have.

I'm going to go against the prevelant view... I think the new one looks loads better and also that the comparison image makes the old one look dated like a mk6... *ducks for cover *

I think the FL GTI trumps the new R in the looks department, and I wasn't keen on the FL GTI at first so that's not saying much.

Looks like the 18" Cadiz will still be standard then?

Not sure about the liquid Gold colour, a nice solid yellow like the S3 might have been better...

I'd be very surprised if us conservative Brits got offered the option of that liquid gold shade and even if we did I doubt it would be an option for more than a year or so.
I saw an S3 in that yellow last summer. The dullest looking car ever (not necessarily in a bad way as I do like A3's) with the brightest yellow just didn't look right.

IMO it does need the black styling pack, 90% privacy glass and the pan/sunroof to pull it off on the S3.
