Hmm, if it is true this means it will be a good competitor to the Golf GTI. So many hot-hatches around the $40 000 mark.

Not for me.

Is this the Fisher Price interior one ?

No thanks. Not a fan. GTI FTW.

wow! a ''hot hatch" with so many features, that "driving enthusiast" customers don't actually have to lift a finger to use the thing!

To be honest, i was thinking the same thing.
Sure it is probably going to be a decent car but they have just ticked every "driver aid" box they could find.
Most of those things aren't required of a hot hatch.

[brimway]

not for me,pass

hmmm... yet these are the options GOlf GTI buyers choose or are standard on a Golf GTI. Even available or standard on a RS250 or FT86

I dont feel the same, sorry guys, but the only "invasive driver aid" on that list is the reverse park assist, and I beleive VW have that as well as most of the other items on that list..

Satnav }

Am I missing something obvious, other than this is a VW biased forum? I plan to check these out when they come into a dealer near me.. and I will reserve further judgment till such a time.

I have no issue with the gear that comes with it

I have issue with the interior and exterior styling which is way too boy racer and Fisher Price

Look at me (which is not what the Golf is, thankfully)
