The front looks great!
The rear is quite boring actually.
Engine specs? Is it the promised 211 hp? | | | | | Executive

Oh dear... oh dear oh dear!
What's going on? My first impressions aren't good. First of all, they could have darned well made more of an effort to put some new wheels on this "all new" GTI. I don't like those blingy ninja star numbers. Should have been a more sophisticated 5 spoke unit.
The red striping in the front grill is sentimental rubbish. It happened to work nicely in the shield-grill format of the Mk V but these two parallel lines are garish and cheesy.
The rest of the car looks lovely; great front bumber treatment, tasty side sills and nice rear bumper diffuser and exhaust placement. Shape-wise it looks the business - sadly it's let down by some seemingly rushed and ill-resolved detailing (red striping and wheels). | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to martinbo For This Useful Post: | | | GCZ's High Court

V??? 
Interior looks great as well as front and rear bumper treatment. And it's amazing what xenons can do to a car...
Overall it's great and if i was in market for it, the rims would definitely have to go.  | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Tycoon For This Useful Post: | | | Contributor

What I can do without is funky patterns on the cloth seats.
