Went to dealer to see and test drive an '07. Car lacks the charm of the first generation. Very severe appearance looks like car is on ****s and is having a psychotic disorder. Doors are thick, dash looks like it came out of a sedan...Dash is nothing special. Very tall console looks awkward, very expensive price. Front wheel drive sucks. Liked the very high quality of the interior components and seats. I liked the steering wheel, and the new alloy wheels. Car clearly has been designed by a committee and lacks a unified theme like the original. Yes, it drives smooth, doors sound much more solid when closed, still has fabric top in spite of pricey cost. Still can't accept that for well over $40 large, you are still driving a VW GTI underneath the swoopy sheetmetal. This is progress? I choose to stay with my current TT roadster for its personality, looks, performance and charm.
