and into the depths of debt?

The real Polo threat is the Fiesta ST.

That's the Focus The Fiesta ST has no firm release date as yet other than sometime in 2013. By that stage the Fiesta will be close to the end of model cycle. I'll call shannanigans and say that the Fiesta ST won't make it to Australia in the current model cycle. It also wont come in auto... No point. Even Suzuki reckons 70% of the Sports will be auto.

Take a look at Hyundai Aus, they aren't offering the Turbo only the Veloster and Veloster +

I was referring to the Turbo model, official release is Q2 2012, the local dealer says to expect it in April or May.

Why does this look weird? Are the rims too small!??

Hi guys,test drove the car on a short note.nice looking compare to previous model .the manual on 1st to 2n gear was bit jumpy and rest was pretty good but don't expect the sudden whiplash acceleration of the polo gti.handling on bends pretty good and guess its good for that dollars

Nice commercial.

i saw a couple at a dealership the other day, stopped for 5 mins to have a look. in white and in silver, i reckon the car looks pretty smart, to be honest, and the wheels dont look too small at all - not to come across as cynical, but those who think the wheels are small, i counter with "the 19/20 inch wheels that you'd like, would just make the car look silly".

saw a yellow one on the eastern today - skodas do yellow quite well, and the "liquid yellow" of the clio is just sublime. but the yellow on the swift sport was.... not really flattering. it didnt look bad, it just looked not as good as the other colors.

I am OK with matching rims. I am just saying the rims in the photo look a bit odd sized. It doesn't look off in the commercial that I linked to.

i think i know what the problem is - the wheel/tyre combo on the car, overall, looks small.

the wheels are perfectly sized, and could actually be smaller IMO, but the thing is, the tyres that are wrapped around the wheels are just too small - they're only 195/45 R17.

the car would look better proportioned with slightly less wheel arch gap, and say 205/45 or even 205/50 r17 tyres.
