Even though the Leon’s replacement is on a ship and soon to be here, it was literally brown from the dust bowl car park at work!

Shiny i3 is best i3.

Looks fantastic.

I do love a nice Leon. 3 door is best door.

I still can’t better behind the i3 though. I’m just not a BMW fan.

It just reminds me of a newer but smaller Meriva, where the front side glass is higher than the rear side glass. 

Even down to the suicide doors.

Of course I know what you mean and the reference, but it’s tough to teach my brain that “Svending” doesn’t mean this -

I am deeply, DEEPLY offended by that comparison, the i3 might not be classically good looking but it is quirky and interesting unlike a bloody Vauxhall Meriva!! LOL

Lol. Sorry man. It’s what I see.

I love the SEAT though.

Nice indeed.

One of my neighbours has a previous gen Polo GTi in gunmetal grey.

The newer gen Polos are what the second and third gen Golfs used to be. The Golf has got bigger and the Polo has grown to fill it’s shoes.

Love the sequential indicators on them.

It was a used Golf GTi I was orig looking for but they are so expensive used when only a year old, plus crappy finance deals on used compared to new cars so the Polo was way cheaper (even loaded with options), it uses the 2.0tsi engine now as well and has a lovely interior, am quite excited for it!

I think you got a better car too.

You’ve essentially got a new Mk2-3 Golf GTi.

I know I'd have a Polo. 

Congrats.

Size wise the new Polo is pretty much the same as the MK4 Golf and inside is not much less room than the current one (especially in the front) , most of the Golf’s extra length is in the bonnet and is why they had to stick the battery in the boot on the Polo GTi so they could fit the 2.0tsi in it! LOL The Polo GTi plus (which is the one I’m getting) has a better, newer gen digital dashboard than the current Golf as well, much higher resolution and better graphics.
