MK 6 Hot or not
« on: 04 October 2008, 17:48 »
It will be interesting to see if the overall opinion changes as it becomes more familiar. At the moment i would say it isnt going down to well, i think it will change though.
I have set it up so you can have 2 votes per person if you change your mind later on.  :smug:

People are afraid of change. FACT.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Present owners will always defend there current car. Its fact.
I have seen this happen with all the mark golfs from day one. Series 1 owners did not like the series 2 restyle or power delivery. mk1 S1orS2 did not like the mk2, no one liked the mk3 lol, mk4 bloated lost its looks and performance, mk5 mk4R32 owners hated. Its a repeated cycle you see it time and time again. Views will change on the mk6 once its been out a while as they nearly always do. :smiley:

I like it, it looks similar to the mk5 but with more agressive styling. The interior looks much improved too.

love the Mk5 so i like this, but for me it isn't different enough, but then again the current GTI has been so popular you can't really blame VW from straying to far from a winning formula.i think though until i see one in the flesh i wouldn't shell out 20k+.

I agree the interior is better looking, but the front end just doesn't do it for me.

I really like it, I think it's got a bit of a sportier look about it that the MK5, don't get me wrong the MK5 still looks the sex, but I think the MK6 does it for me :)
