I love it and will probably be sticking a deposit on one next year.  In 3 door form it looks better than the Scirocco.

As someone who was *this close* to buying a mk4 GTI, I appreciate its looks and styling. But the moment I saw the MK5 GTI, I knew I had to have it! The mk6 doesn't strike me as something I must have, like the previous two marks did.

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

I have mentioned elsewhere that I love some of the interior, like the chunky buttons on the steering wheel and the general layout of the interior. I like the rear but the front end doesn't seem like a move forwards.


You'll all be buying mk6 Gti's in the next few years, just you wait and see!
Nope I'll be waiting for the mk7 in my (hopefully) modded and remapped mk5, lapping all the mk6s!!! :grin:

I'll wait to see one in the metal and test drive it before I pass judgement. But however good it is, I won't be trading in my very modified Mk5 for one.

The big question has to be if you didn't have a GTI at all, would you buy the Mk5 or the Mk5.5 Mk6 ?

Does the Mk6 GTI have a K03 or K04 turbo? - Surely a K03 because the power is only up by 10 bhp.

The Mk6 has a new generation ECU though and it's more difficult to crack, I've heard.

The MKVI has the new TSI engine with a K03 flavoured kick to it.

For me there are a few little tempters over the MKV:-

 - Electronic diff - you tight VW guys lets have a proper ATB diff!
 - adaptive suspension and choice of settings - but most likely still no match for a well set up MKV on coilies and uprated ARB's :wink:

Now the pics of the upper range are sneaking out I actually quite like it. It has a much more agressive look to the front which I feel looks a lot better, also the GTTDI will be out next year so might be able to get one as  a company car which would be nice :) Interior seems to be very similar but with white dials, looks like a nice place to be and they look to have removed those bloody uncomfortable knee bars from the centre console.

I love the front, but the back, well it's OK but it just looks like a Tiguan.

What is up with manufacturers today? They are all looking the same, look at the new Polo, just a mini MK5.
