TBH it doesn't look as nice as the MKV.
MKV GTI looks 'mature' in comparison and you can definitely tell what clarkson was on about when he said you could do the school run and then scream home like a rally driver and then later pickup a chest of draws.
WRT styling, not a fan of the narrow grille below the bonnet. The vertical foglights -guess they'll grow on me. I do like the back of it and the rear lights. Love the chunky buttons on the steering wheel, as well as the steering wheel itself.
It's just the front end I hate!
