I Like that pic of all 7. And it reminds me of the question - has anyone on here owned at least one example of all 6 previous versions?
I've had 2 Mk2s, 1 Mk3, 2 Mk4s and 1 Mk6. I used to drive a Mk1 as it belonged to my first long term girlfriend but have never had a Mk5 as the Mk4s put me off VW for a while.
The Mk7? I reckon I might be due a change come Edition 40 time but since that'll still look exactly like a Mk6 and be £1 million anyway I suspect I might end up skipping the Mk7.

You're lucky Ginge - at least you managed to avoid the abomination that was the Mk4!!!

+1 on that post - great comparison between all the models.

I've had/got and 2, 4 and 6. So for continuity I guess I should wait for the 8 before buying another.

Had a 4 and 5 and now have a 6. Will I have a 7? Probably not, although I'd be very tempted by the new Leon; looks sharper, is cheaper, metallic and white paint don't cost extra, it's pretty much a Golf under the skin and it has a proper handbrake too!
