Opinions: Golf MK7 - Pics of GTI , R , 4motion models being driven in Sweden!

Apparently this is the full mk7 range.

Really not sold on the looks though!


The MK5 was quite uniquely designed and looks wise, took only a smidge of inspiration from the MK4.  :smiley:

The MK6 has grown on me, and looks like a mk5 with a lot more mk4 bodyshape in it.

But the MK7. Its like and mk6 but trying to take a further 1/2 step back into the mk5 and bit of mk4 if you squint!


An they have bought out an electric golf?! Presumably hybrid and not a big G-Wiz  :confused:

They are my views but if you ask me, everything is coming back to our awesome mk5s!  :wink:

Am looking for an MK6 dsg just to get something newer but I cannot ever see myself getting an mk7 at this rate!

As an aside though, is the MK7 platform equipment relatively hot-swappable to mk6? like the mk6 was for the mk5... hmm! research to be done methinks!  :fighting2:

I dont like the look of the MK7. But i did not like the look of the MK6 to start with and now i realy like it.

I do still think that the mk5 looks the best.


Other than a MK2 which i think is the best looking golf ever  :love:

What's in the middle of the lower grill on the GTI?? Looks like a siren of a London ambulance!

I really hope that isnt a production ready version of the R. Looks like a pile of complete wank compared to the Mk6 R.

Not a big fan yet . Wasn't a fan of the MK6 when it came out . Like the look a bit more now . Trouble is for what you will be paying for a decent spec GTI MK 7 it looks a bit plain and not special enough . The GTI looks ok but is that their intention to get a drivers car that blends in and appeals to more people or will it attract less people . We will see :happy2:

Both the GTI and the R don't look great in those pics.

The MKVII R looks tame compared to anything!  :sad1:

Even the electric one has a better front than the MKVII R!

Couldn't agree more! Lets hope they make some revisions to the styling of the 'R' before releasing it!
