pre-facelift or facelift?
« on: 24 August 2009, 11:02:10 »

having had both,i still cant decide which one i like best.
 ( both 2.5  elites)  facelift exterior looks slightly better i think,but pre-facelift had some nice points too. i thought the seats were comfier for example. just wondered what everyone else thought?  :y

The F/L for me cam, not only for the exterior work but for the interior - centre console looks better IMO

if your facelift has no toys the places where they should be are more obvious on the center console, doesnt look great. Also the armrests on the doors arnt as wide i dont think, slightly less comfortable
(i have changed my prefacelift for a facelift this week)

Personally, I prefer the Mini Facelift interior and exterior. The facelift interior wears badly as well :(

prefacelift mv6 for me  like the dark interior

not a fan of fake wood,
metal interior...ok but not really a fan

love the prefacelift mv6 wheel looks

but do prefer the more modern lines and colour coding of the facelift exterior

I prefer the prefacelift in every way. I am not a fan of the facelift at all. Don't know why just my opinion :y

Just prefer the way the prefacelift looks :y

i think the pre face lift has a bit more road presence but i like the Face lift i think face lift with pre face lift interior would be a good combo as the center consol looks a bit cheap

Just finished mixing and matching my mini facelift with facelift door strips and rear bumper as well as colour coding the front bumper to get rid of all the grey plastic. Really happy with it and prefer the build quality of the mini facelift interior personally. Will be posting some pics after its been polished!

That would be me then ;D

Seriously though I think the minifacelift is the best, Im not gone on the faclift interior, and the exterior looks alot more average than the prefacelift IMO. Prefacelift is much nicer and curvy like a woman.

Never been inside a face lift, but not a fan of the new central dah from the pictures I have seen.  Bit old fashioned on ideas for the interior, I prefer the wood dash, leather seats and all thetoys, only gripe is the Sat Nav, would prfer the indash colour screnn jobbie.

i like the facelift dash layout, the minifacelift buttons look a bit dated, especially the hard plastic ones, but the soft touch ones wear the second you touch them bah!

the biggest failing on the mini facelift is the satnav position. how anyone thought you're supposed to glance at the screen when it's all the way down by the ashtray is a mystery. i know it was an optional extra on the top models, but a total afterthought nonetheless. makes the voice-off option completely redundant.

Facelift is now always my preference, although I did previously own a pre-facelift Elite :y :y.
