3 door looks better. 5 door more practical.

I'd go for the decals, can always take them off if you don't warm to them.

Red 3dr definitely. Oryx white as a second colour option. No decals.

Agree with AGB about the difficulties of the long doors though, often at work I get parked but then can't exit the car :rolleyes: :laugh: Just in case I'd better add that I'm of a slim build....

Thank you for the link. Still can’t make my mind up. I don’t like the alloys so will have to upgrade to the alloys with the cup tyres.

Defiantly will go for the black roof.

I hope I don’t out price myself, and decide to wait for the MK 8


So .... back to the question. Red or Grey ? 3dr or 5dr?

If it helps your decision, the VW Newsroom offers a good selection of images with the press release.

The only disadvantage I find with 3 door is the length of the door and the difficult it poses with tight parking spaces or if someone parks tight to you. I much prefer the aesthetic of the 3 door as it happens.

Not sure what you're implying here!  :grin: I am suffering with sciatica at the moment and you don't appreciate how much movement is required. I'm thinking about hiring a small child so I can park in the parent/child bays at the supermarket until I'm over this.  :laugh:

Just stick Audi badges on your car and then park in the parent/ toddler bays anyway. That's what they do round my way and not a child in sight.

Grey 3 door for me, decals would look better in a more subtle contrast but worth having on a limited edition model.

I really like it in white with the black decals as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMhJ1ZFsfp0

What ever colour it would, it would most definitely be without those ridiculous spots! The small TCR logo at the bottom look good but those other graphics. What were they thinking?  :rolleyes:

I'd like to think I'm better than that but it seems it's the same MO in my local. Always the Q7.

Not a fan of them either, where they cut off at the crease line, it makes it look unfinished. I suspect I'm going to spec a Pure Grey and black car and have it as a Q car/sleeper.
