Catastrophically bland, but not really offensive to the eye and the GTI looks superb in white IMO.

Well, then i'm even more surprised that you say that about interior.

My wife's Golf has nothing to do with this... Only that you think it's ugly and i think it looks fine.

okey okey, I was a little bit harsh when I said ugly, let my repeat, its not but not my favorite little car.

Im not expecting anything but still the car is common, almost as many as Saabs in Sweden

Why think further?
Well I don't doubt the Golf is certainly the 'bargain' in this respective category, but I feel it's missing something (although I'm not sure of exactly what).

Overall (exterior and interior wise) I'd say the A3 appeals to me the most, but If I did purchase an A3 I would feel shortchanged as I know the Golf offers more for less money.

Ok, I'll take the Golf...

James, your friend says 7L/100km... Open road, city drive? My wife's 2.0TDI drinks 7,4L city drive...

True, exclusivity isn't one of the Golf's best points. I had a ride in the GTI last night... God it's so great.

City, but with a light foot... he just got the car, so he's driving it really gently. With such a good FC I might just be able to convince my sis to get one...
