It grows on me more and more.
I dont like the tail lights (the shape) the steering wheel and wtf is going on with the pedals?!?! Oh and also those seats :sick: the look sh*te, i love the look of the mk5 cloth seats as they look stocky and the way the headrest are is awesome, but these are just bland. Anyone know what the leathers look like? Or is there a big yummy recaro option :party:

wheels would be alright if they didn't have the corner small triangles going right through, makes it too fussy & a bugger to keep clean.
don't like the rear led's too much either.

Saw a white one yesterday (not a GTI though) it looked good actually. I think some design touches are too far, the red str.ipe in the lights? Red stripe in door cards?? Queue some chav copy mods any folk chopping up their interiors to copy the look. That said, the new specs of the GTI, especially the performance version which for about another grand gets a LSD sounds like a usable addition, and the economy is allegedly 15% better, nigh on 45mpg I think.

They look exactly the same as a Mk6 GTI.

Honestly, anyone would think everyone on here has lived on a closet and this is the first time they have seen pics of the Mk7 GTI.

If I could afford one

You aren't charging enough!

Ramp up those prices and you'll probably increase business...like people paying way over the odds for Apple stuff.

Although leave us forum members alone obviously. :laugh: :laugh:

I don't like the wheels ! The electronic handbrake is a disaterous decision and it will mean that ill never own one !
Love the rest of it though especially the door LEDs, that's a really nice touch

Bit extreme because of a handbrake  :confused: i only see a problem if you are 17 and just passed your test.

My friends a4 has an electronic one, i really dont get why people are hating on it. Theres plenty worse out there, the ones you pull out of the dash and the silly foot pedel ones in the mercs  :scared:

I don't really get the issue with the handbrake being electronic. What's the big fuss?

I think everybody watched top gear and is worried about not being able to impress the ladies with handbrake turns.

Hmm, as others have pointed out, there definitely seems to be some areas where VW have taken a backwards step; the pedals! no, no, no.  Also the steering wheel looks thinner, and.... is it round!? ...not flat bottomed!!  

Plus, the wheels are crap, the brakes look the same poor mk5/6 setup, not a fan of the exhaust exposure either...

When I drove the park assist 1.4 model even that had a flat bottom steering wheel!?!?

It's the sensor for the radar guided cruise control Rich, you'll probably notice eventually that most of them  (all I'd even go to say?) have that.

I'm looking at the pedals and thinking...  :sick: ... what happened to the floor mounted pedal? So much nicer..
ACCD  :happy2: adaptive cruise control pretty good actually just don't hit the bumper it's a bitch to set back up! Lol
