I didnt have the 'I don't like that' reaction I usually get with new cars, so that is a good sign.

First thoughts, looks decent. Want to see the hot versions :happy2:

I don't know if it's a real GTI or an impression based on the 7?

The more I look, the more I think no. Wrong door handles, and some other bits don't ring true. Who knows though.

That GTI isn't an official image. The petrol flap is circular and there's no quarterlight.

Looks a bit like a barstewardsised A3 - it looks quite smart.

Apparently the entry level car weighs just 1050kg. Pretty amazing.

Is it just me or does the back end look like something a Vauxhall should be wearing?, the rest of the car looks great!

.
The angled centre console is very BMW but with a touch of Audi styling to the interior.

Far too much silver trim bits for my liking though. The interior dashboard looks too upmarket for a Golf.

How does the electronic handbrake work?


....I expect the same as on the more upmarket Audi's - A button. The S4 loaner I had, had one - Didn't quite feel right somehow, not confidence inspiring although it does work!

I must admit if this is the Mk7 Golf then I am looking forward to the Mk3 Octavia.  :smiley:
