    It’s not a bad car. It’s certainly an improvement over the prior generation, which was obscenely over styled and look like a child’s toy. But for that kind of coin, there’s definitely other things I’d prefer

      While the last gen was over styled, they do seem a bit of a bargain now considering they have depreciated and the new one is significantly more expensive.

      Their performance is very similar.

        I agree the performance is definitely similar and there is a value proposition there for used models, but I still have to look at a car I drive everyday, and I just can’t get past the looks. But that’s personal preference of course, and looks are subjective

        For all the people that said it was overstyled and that they’d “buy it if it didn’t look like a transformer”, in my lifetime I have yet to see a single FK8 ‘un-riced’ let alone un-winged yet I see a dozen 10th gen Si/sport hatchbacks with the Type R wing a day
