I've grown to the front end, its not my favorite, but its also no G8X mess, so that isn't too bad, but I really don't like the touch capacitive buttons. I think the Mk7 was the perfect balance. The adult hot hatch, but also had a very nice interior with a good mix of new tech and older physical controls. And the styling while tame will age well. Glad to see they kept the manual though. As interesting as all of these FWD based cars with drift mode are, I do wonder how much the drift mode is actually used.
