Underpowered and Overpriced

[Egbutt Wash]

For a popular car like the GTI they want to keep the CO2 as low as possible to achieve some sort of Euro average for the company overall.
A compromise, but fully expecting most owners who give a damn to chip up.

Hey presto, low CO2 for the Eurocrats and powerful engines with low road tax for we chippers.
No wonder they dropped the 3.2L R32.

Got to agree with the Nosh. Just add £500 to the cost of the car to take into account a remap and you have all the power you need. Still expensive though, I thought they brought forward the MK6 release as it was costing too much to make the MK5s thus the MK6 being cheaper to make yet costing more.

Im getting bored of this recession, when is it due to be finished?

When people starting spending their money again

You mk5 lads are sad, the only reason you dont like the mk6 is because you feel threatened by it, as only a few years ago your cars were the new golfs and now they're gonna plummit in price as the new model has come out. Dont you just love depritiation on newer cars  And yes i own a mk3 an iv heard all the comments before so save it. 

I personally dont like the mk6 itself but i think its a grower just like the mk5's were at 1st, as soon as the gti and r32 model comes out with all the trim and smart wheel ect i bet it will look good. but for some reason i really like the new sicirocco, they look soo mean

........ ah

(Although your MK3 actually looks quite nice form the sig)

LOL i dont mean to offened mk5 owners, i just say it as it is really, dont know if thats a good or bad point about me 

Cheers alan, we all love each other really doesnt matter what mark golf youve got 

[AlanD]

Its only because I sort of agree with what your saying, FFS VW, who the hell brings out new models

[Trickyboy]

But you can't deny it's overpriced once you stick a few extras on...

[AlanD]

Yeah, it is expensive, but so was the MK5 when it came out.

[Trickyboy]

Well, im hopefully picking my mk5 up tomorrow (at last!) and i can safely say that i've got no regrets whatsoever! Roll on tomorrow!
