Have had mk5's and now mk6.  Though I loved the mk5, I'd say the mk6 is better all round car - more refined, much nicer interior and doesn't look dated (yet). 

Suppose it's a case of holding out for the right one that meets your spec and condition requirements.  Have you been looking long?

Never bothered with the numbers Adam so who knows, I was always more interested in the handling mods which is why they are staying on

Yeah I know what you mean mate, what have you done to the handling? And what engine mods? If you don't mind me asking?

i dont know, if you look hard yo can get a MK6 cheap. Got mine 59 plate from JCT600 Peugeot for £13,950 six months ago. Leathers, parking sensors, RNS510, 18" Monzas, Lux pack, Winter Pack etc...

Worth every penny, some small rattles which the MK5 also has. All can be fixed or suppressed.

Yes, ED30 and Pirelli are great, but 3-5 from now they will be very old and outdated. All depends what you want most....Power, Luxury, all rounded etc...

MK6 is the all round best one, just under powered to the ED30, but get a stage 1 map and you will be happy

Is yours a silver 5 door model by any chance,if it is you beat me to it?

The interior of the 6 is a nicer place to be, with higher perceived quality of the plastics, but the 5 is actually better screwed together inside in my view - more screws & clips etc

Paint is vastly better on my 5 than 6.
The 6 is peppered with tiny chips and the soft paint scuffs at the merest hint of anything touching it...the 5 is twice as old, has never been polished and has a far better coat of paint, that chips less, is less orange-peely and more resistant to scuffs.
Oh, and the 5 has a better coat of paint on the areas you don't initially see.
