Launch for Mk6 GTi is.....or Mk6 stuff here!

The seat trim is not the much of a change.
I like the twin tail pipes.
The front looks good.
The engine is not as poweful as the ED30 but it has the adjustable dampers. However.........

After going for a test drive in a Scirocco last week, I noted the following points:-

Yes, the engine is a tad smoother that the ED30.
The ride is slightly smoother in Comfort mode, but the ED30 & GTI handle just as well. After a few weeks I would end up leaving it in Auto mode anyway.
BUT it felt underpowered. Well it did feel rapid. After the ED30, there was no rush of extra power at the top end.

Not a great argument for us Mk V owners to change really.

I believe you to be on the dodo juice again. 

Not me sir, it's just been a very very long day at work 

That would be a real head-turner on the streets!
But the engine in the back seat  that is just too much.

So you would never consider a two seater???

I would, but I would like to be able to relax inside the cabin, instead of constantly hearing the engine roar and those coolers. Also, I would not want to fry by back and my neck. 

Your a very positive chap aint you Peskarik!!

I wasnt overly keen on the MK6 until I saw those pics of the GTI, I really like that! Again, I think colour choice makes the car and white is hitting all the right buttons for me!

I just had a sex wee.... 

The relevent emails have been sent to the father and VW SA.

Those new pics I am liking ALOT! The steering wheel looks sexual and those front lights look mean as.

It's good that they have moved the bottle opener to the steering wheel.

Less chance of spilling the Brown Ale.

....^^ Brilliant!

I hate that Mk6 steering wheel - Just bling'd up with silver bits!

I love the new cloth seats though.
