I was driving past the dealers today and caught this in the corner of my eye... Had to go back for another look! :drool:

Great combo IMO, 5dr DSG in the right colour too. I was hoping to see this with the cloth seats, I heard there was a bit of a mix up with the colour of the cloth interior, grey bolsters instead of black.

Really hope this looks better in the flesh cause them pics are doing nothing for me :surprised:

My rubbish camera skills are probably to blame. :ashamed:
:laugh:

I love it! Except the interior.... Hope the EVO looks better inside!

Chrome mirrors like the Audi S3, awful alloy wheels and not forgetting the interior looks like Golf R seats but Golf TDI headrests? :sick:
-
I think that looks really good to be honest.
Mk7s always look better in the flesh than in the pictures.
-
With a few of our modding touches I think it could look smart.
-
Arch gap, chrome mirrors, and those chrome details on the front are killing it for me..
Sort those out and I reckon it'd be a winner, looks good other than that :drinking:
-
Needs lowering.

-
Yeah defo needs lowering. I'm not keen on the front either just looks bland for me personally
-
The chrome accents on the front are a bit too far for me....I will have reserve judgement for when I see one in the flesh...hurry up wigit! :laugh:
-
I really like em, my local VW Dealer (in Horsham for those that are local) have a stunning Tornado Red one at the mo, had a good butchers around it yesterday.
Also not keen on the chav silver lib, looks even more pronounced in the flesh/metal.
:happy2:
-
Exterior looks nice. Typical VW understated look bar the chrome bits....
Interior cloth might be better... Not a fan of leather which I regrettably have in my gri- cold in winter, hot in summer...

Pretty sure they have heated seats lol
-
^^^^ mind you, nothing worse than a leather seat that's heated IMO, nasty feeling. Can't explain it, just felt WRONG!! Much nicer with a material seat of some kind.
-
Looks really nice that! Very impressed.
-
Im bending towards the s3 for my next car now , i will wait to see them both in the flesh but on pics i favour the audi !

Rob on this forum has a new s3 saw him in it the other day

Electric handbrake !!!! :sick: :sick: :sick:
Not blown away, but still having a test drive :signLOL:

Feels like you've pissed yourself !!
Like most cars they look just "OK" when you first set eyes on them and you learn to like or love em over time.
One of the few exceptions for me was the mk6 R.
The 7R is growing on me all the time :love:

Leather seats are freezing cold when you first get in the car in the winter (nice when the seats warm up)
And after a day in the sun on a hot day, scorch you. Can't win :sad1:
-
I really like the alloys on the 7R, as with everything, each to there own!
-
.
I agree with the others who have criticised the silver bits, especially that front lower lip - It looks cheap :sick:
I personally dislike all the silver bits inside as well.
It will be a good engine unit though. It needs some Hurdy Love!
-
Beautiful car, super impessive engine specs... shocking price tag :(
I dont even want to know the price of the evo edition
-
Seats look a bit now, would of expected something more special
But the quad exhaust looks good to me

Agreed they do look good but there is something about a 4 pot having quad exhausts is wrong.. v8 or above imo

Mandy - Is this PC - Hedge End as i THINK i saw it being delivered yesterday afternoon along with a couple of red ones
Yes it was, I was surprised to see it left out the front, thought they would've put it somewhere more discreet (Gone today though).
-
The chrome bits and purple hue in the paint reminds me of the mk5 R32. Would def work better with gloss black mirror caps and grill.
-
My first thoughts are that I prefer the Mk6 R over this. Could be a grower though.
-
I love everything about that car apart from the front end, looks really bland, seen better looking 1.4's, shame because the mk6 R looked amazing. Maybe it's supposed to look under stated but I think thats a bit far for me.
-
Doesn't look any more sporty or aggressive than a GTI or GTD to be honest.
VW are too conservative with there designs lately. Mk6 R looks mean and has presence. MK7 will just blend in like a rep mobile
-
Maybe the evo one will look better
-
So what's it like to drive, Hedge? :popcornsoda:
-
Very nice thanks Mandy. :laugh:
-
DJ Horace has one on order next month

Just seen this on my Facebook, and even tho I like the quads (bit bias I know) I think the rear on this looks a lot better and is more in keeping with the mk5 and mk6 .:R's
-
^^^^ Now that I likely. :notworthy:
Might rub a wee bit on the fronts though! :laugh:
