Golf GTi convertable

[Russ_16v]

We have had this in the showroom for a little while, so thought id chuck up a few pictures

 

[Bluebeard]

I really really dislike that.

I think the wheels date it as well as they were on the mk5.

Normal hatchback for me please.

 

[KielT]

In a weird way, I kinda like that, hate the seats though.lol

 

[plymcl172]

horrible car

look at the seats- like its a joke or something ukk!

 

[Stefan.]

like most convertibles they are aimed at the female market imo

 

[Cub.]

Me no likey. At all.

 

[SC03OTT]

Meh, I have no strong feelings either way about it. Safe to say however if I was in the market for a Golf GTI I'd pass right over this and go for the hatch.

 

[Djw John]

I bet thats up for a worrying price as well!

 

[Brett]

To go against the grain, I like it as a product rather than a car. In that it will sell well, and be a great car to a lot of people. Just not enthusiasts.

 

[Kieran..]

Wheels look awful on that, only the rear end looks like a gti should. Just looks like its not been done in the factory tbh

 

[Englebert]

Not a fan myself. Also really dont see the point with the Eos being a Gold based convertible!

 

[Saner]

Thought they stopped production of the EOS and have replaced it with the Golf Convertible

 

[Feirny]

Just a new EOS then?

 

[Russ_16v]

Believe it or not, even though the Eos is roughly based on the golf, they share very little of the same components

Why do GTIs have such terrible seats!

And when will VW learn about that volume knob with the power logo that turns, that's a good enough reason for me to never buy a VW.

 

[DB.]

Strong dislike!

 

[Jamie86]

Not surprised it's still in the showroom.. I mean really? :dead:

 

[Lal B3N]

That looks horrendous.

Its to do with the original Golf GTi's having the tartan!

As for that - f**king awful.

 

[DB.]

I'll be honest, I could have had black leather seats in an identical Gti to mine, but chose the tartan It's a pleasant change from leather/alacantra!

 

[Alx]

Not much of a looker.. Or a driver

 

[Gally]

It's so s**t. Reminds of the A3 cab also, same s**t. Terrible idea imo.

Should have saved their cab idea for their sports car that's been talked about.

 

[Scrooge]

I really can not stand the new shape golfs I've been driving lately.

100% agree with the power button logo spinning. Properly irritating. Not to mention the 70mph speed exceeded thing coming up on the dash even though you're not doing 70.

 

[Hixle]

The seats are the only thing I actually like in that. Gives a bit of character to an otherwise very lifeless looking car.

 

[Scrooge]

Love the tartan seats. A nice bit of retro. I would also love old xr3i patterned seats in the ZS fiesta or something.

 

[leeds_182]

I love them seats!

 

[aucky]

Really gay.

 

[SC03OTT]

The Eos is based on the Passat is it not?

 

[Fletcher]

Not my cuppa.

 

[Rob]

That's really not for me, old wheels and it looks like a Jetta's offspring. Ew.

 

[ColinG]

Awful in every way, shape, overall image, wheels and in particular those seats I HATE them

 

[Rob]

I quite liked the seats my friends mk5 GTI.

 

[daydotz]

i kinda like it

i couldn't own one however

the led rear lights look cool

 

[Ian_182]

I bet thats a fortune and it looks terrible.

 

[_Tom]

Russ how true are the talks of a Golf R cab? I think for what they are they look great.

 

[Rob]

FLOL! Can anyone else just see an Astra?

 

[couzens]

That interior is for Scottish Chavs.

Not for me im afraid.

 

[Russ_16v]

Russ how true are the talks of a Golf R cab? I think for what they are they look great.

IMO il be suprised if it comes of anything mate - we are hearing bits and pieces come through, but I can only really see it viable if the GTi cab really takes off, then a higher powered version might be a good seller - unsure if they could keep the 4wd mind, as im really unsure what the boot space woould end up like with the shaping of the floorpan required, plus the extra weight involved

 

[Reev]

Looks a bit bland tbh, those seats are gash though.

 

[VeinAST]

Side profile is A3 near enough
