The Mark VI Golf GTI is what happens when, ideologically speaking, that Porsche and that Polo are subject to some sort of stem cell research to find a cure for the fact that nobody can afford fast cars any more. It's the hybrid love child of extravagance and conservatism. And in this respect it is, essentially, perfect.

 :cool:

Brilliant.

That guy from fifth gear and his review on th GTI was b0llock5, understand why they went under. I agree he talked rubbish about Old Dick and nothing really about the car AND YOUR A CAR PROGRAM NOT THE HISTORY CHANNEL! :angry: Give me Clarkson anyday!

Regarding the GTI, don't forget parkers (formal review, lots of photo's plus also video).

Also regarding safety differences between the mk5 and the mk6 - NCAP comparison:

Total cack review. Outstanding performance, but gets 4 out of 5. Continually comparing it to other cars and how fast other cars are compared to the GTI. Wtf is that all about, review the car for what it is. Do you review a Zonda and say its not as quick as other cars like a Veyron ?


GTI mk6, 3dr Manual (Yes Manual! If I wanted a Taxi I'd hail one, not spend £1500 on one), Candy White, Full Leather, Xenons, ACC, 18", RCD510 + Dynaudio, DAB Radio, Winter Pack, Luxury Pack, Fiscon Bluetooth Plus, Golf R LED's.

slightly tenous - but this "review" popped up in MSN Car's top 50 "boosted beasts" - Mk6 GTI came 2nd... to the noble m600 - or was it the Girls of the Detroit Motorshow?  Boosted assets?!  :evil: :evil:
