12 vs 62

The tyres is down to your's being a BMT getting fuel saving tyres. Interesting to see the revised dials were the increments have changed from white to black and does make the dials clearer on the revised version. I can see why they have also ditched the silver ring round the dials which looks good but would have been lost with the new dials and also a cost saving!!Edited by: jezyg
I still like the original dials better, but hey-ho.
It's also interesting to see, from your like-for-like photos, how the extra doors make the 5-door look so much bigger because the car has such a different visual balance.
One question - did it rain when you had the courtesy car? If so, did the rear wheel arches still sound like Niagra Falls on wet roads, or have the changes to the metal work made a difference to this?

Yes I profer the original dials too,
The tyres on the 62 are hankooks but when I looked at current modles in dealers they had conties on them don't know the reason for this
The rear window altho I did not open them are pop out ones not winders, and the rear doors inside have a lot of painted metal much like the front doors.
I like the larger doors rather than the small ones on the 5 door version for getting in and out also think they look betterEdited by: spud

I've probably explained this several times, but here goes again...
...Tyres on all up!'s will vary...Continental has a large share of supply for the car, but it all depends what tyres are delivered to the plant of production at any one time. SO...that means your car could end up with Continental Premium Contact 2's... OR Hankook OR Bridgestone's. No guarantee on any of them.
Hopefully that clears it up.

We have the new ones and they are really nice esp' the auto-brightening white band - quite snazzy really.
Not sure if it is the bottom photo itself but ours looks more like the top ones around the edges - all three of our dials have a light grey edging. In the photo they look plain black - are there three variants?
In short they look way better than the photo suggests.
