The exterior's going to take a bit of adjusting to.. I can see it becoming likeable, but it looks ugly as hell at the moment

Nice interior though

It's a golf.

Them wheels are horrible.

Looks better than that civic. Still don't like the big seat nose.
Interior looks better than the golf so does the arse.
The front looks a bit ugly though.

Still looks ok,

I think I love it and hate it.

Hate the mirrors, love the madmax wheels/look and feel of the thing.

Hate the Alfa-esque rear door handles, love the overall 'it looks like moving' thing it has going on.

Horrible pics by the way. Hard to tell anything from 'em.

I like it,

great interior,

exterior looks better than a golf imho

looks like it has those 'hidden' wipers that park vertically, nice touch.

quite sporty looking, but what's going on with those wing mirrors?!! (see 2nd pic)

Interior aint bad, its got a steering wheel like the cool one fitted to the new Audi S4.

Strip away the pumped up bodykit though and it looks way too much like the Altea and Toledo for my liking.

I like all the bits and "features" of it but looking at it as a whole from the ouside i hate the height appearance of it. Its general shape makes it look like a tall car like a scenic or a zafira.

Other than hating that overall appearance i love the rest of it (if that makes any sense to anyone other than me)

Come to think of it, I think I'd like that if it had some wheels that were more in proportion with the rest of the car - enormous rims / rubber band tyres don't suit stock, unlowered family sized hatchbacks imho. Also, having a numberplate on the front with break up that hoooge nose nicely, so that should improve things..

Me likey: the exterior, looks better than the Altea and Toledo IMHO. The interior looks nice - note the auto-shifter... rear doors have hidden handles like the Civic prototype, and that lower front bumper looks really aggressive

Me no likey: those wing mirrors! Very gallic, see also the Pug 307 and the Citreon C4. Front grille is a bit large too for my tastes... thats it really!

Overall, thumbs up!

Too much like the Altea.

But I quite like it. It was going to be hard to beat the existing Leons styling

What is that thing in the middle of the spoiler?
