I'm still not warming to those headlights which is a shame as the rest of the front end looks very nice indeed.  Also not sure about the new VC being merged with the central infotainment, it's something I've never liked on MB cars too.  I'd prefer a cowled binnacle as it looks driver focussed  (if that makes sense!?!)

 

I also can't help but feel the rear end is very i30N.  One of the first GTI's since the mk5 that instantly just doesn't look 'right'. 

 

It's also a shame they used the blue Clark tartan in the GTE as those seats, in blue would look epic in the R.

Really like this package,the top spec package even more fun but at a price.

Will be interesting to pick up a demo / pre reg in say 3-6 months 

 

But will it go the same way as Audi's S1 over priced package.

Audi really missed a trick with the S1 5years ago.

Hope it's hotter than a BMW i3S.

Something has gone a bit Pete Tong with VW or Autocar, or VW & Autocar.   (Honesty is the best policy, and it is good to see motoring journalists telling it as they see & feel things.)

Their reviewer has commented on DSG issues.   Surely by now VW can just build cars and DSG's that will be smooth and quick as you operate the accelerator pedal.

Just reading press release the Sportback starts at £37,900 and the saloon £38,465 with a slightly bigger 370 litre boot (both too small when you're used to a hatch with 625 litres)

I think you need to be more structured with your packing as a bigger boot is probably only needed a couple of times a year!

So have BMW / Mini development engineers failed in their objective.

I had the same issue trying to deploy 380lb/ft in my stage 2 Octavia Vrs245 so I can understand why with only 336lb/ft he found it a bit unruly.

Nice to see VW have ditched the bonnet struts to help make it safer when you collide with pedestrians. Infotainment and the new steering wheel buttons look a step backwards. Only improvement looks to be the DCC.

It is so cheap he couldn't afford number plates. Police allow idiots like him to drive cars? I knew a wally also born in 1993. Must have been a special year.
