Its actually very nice , I could live without the Xenon lights and the panoramic roof , but the Fender sound system is cracking , and I love the leather , like my GTI has - only thing against it is that this car , as specced here , is £27K!   :surprised:

I was looking at VW Huddersfields demonstrator, which is white with the very retro alloys. The proportions are really weird, it seems massive. Sitting in it, it felt bigger than my MK5.

I sit in the if it ain't broke don't fix it section, I owned the outgoing shape and although not a great car it deserved the beetle tag, this incarnation is an unnecessary face lift that does nothing for it aesthetically IMHO

And £27k???  :mad:

Looks like an eyeball in the centre....Saw a red one at the local dealers with the retro wheels. Like the wheels on that one.
They also had a white VW UP. Not bad for a city car..
Bye Bye Edition 30.
