Stiff competition for the Mk7 Golf GTI - First Edition

[Tobes_WIR35]

My impression is that the veloster is a cheap rip-off of a scirocco combined with a Renault Megane RS, but styled by someone with sight impediment. I don't see much of the DS3 in it tobe honest - but trust me, that is a good thing!

To me I see the front of a DS3 mixed with the back of a C4 coupe. They even announced the rag-top convertible thing a several months after Citroen announced the cabrio for the DS3... Same goes for the turbo veloster and the DS3 Racing...But I'll take your comment to be a good thing

I just realised I better stop this before I go over the top lol.

On a side note has anyone driven the new A-class yet? I'm still waiting on local users to comment on the car before I judge the car myself.

yep the veloster turbo is all a bit wrong, but have to get upclose with it to realise. many will still buy it I suppose. re a class though sat in one no not driven as yet. my purchase of the a250 is contingent on a test drive so will let you know when get a chance. should be in the next month or two i suspect

I can see some DS3 in the Veloster.. the big open grille and the crease that runs from the headlights. But whereas Citroen used it as a styling difference and chucked some DRLs in there I'm not really sure what Hyundai were thinking, I find it one of the weakest parts of their car.

The partner of someone at my office was due to drive the A series this week assuming it was available but was leaning towards the 1 series. Apparently the GTI was err to blingy.. the err red in the interior too much.. umm the seat stitching?

Clearly anyone who is genuinely interested in what the GTI is wont be going for a Hyundai, but yeah, I see people looking at things like the i30 over the 77TSI (or equivalent in Mk7). Would I? No.
