Mk6 GTI 0-60mph
« on: 10 July 2009, 12:41 »
hi, can anyone point me in the direction of some proper GTI tests to confirm the 0-60?  I know the official line is 6.9 (after they messed up by originally putting 7.2) - is this still the case or is it quicker/slower than that?  Ta!

Depends, DSG or Manual? 

Dont think there are many tests yet. All mags are quoting VW times or just putting ''under 6 secs''

well i'm getting a manual so that's all i'm really interested in lol!  under 6 seconds?  that puts it in S3 territory and i can't see that - would be awesome though if that was true!!!!

Officially, its 0-62mph in 6.9 secs. I'm sure VW are fairly conservative about their figures though.

Some of the DSG mk5's were doing 6 sec runs standard.

Mine is 5.8 and i pull away from GTI's with not much distance (in the dry) so its probably about 6.2 or something (mk5's) so around the same for the mk6 i guess?

also, if you want to get really technical and particular, the GTI will be a teeny smidgen slower with 18" alloys rather than 17".

that's me slower then as i have 18's on both my mk 5 and my mk 6.  obv i'm not up on all of this as i didn't realise there could be such large fluctuations, i've often thought my mk5 was quicker than 7.2 but thought i was just imagining it as just believed what VW said in their official figures.  doh!

I've always known VW are very relaxed with their official figures, you were right, the mk5 is going to be faster than 7.2, but with the 18 rims, you prob just lost that time back right there  :grin:

What's the point of the 18 inch wheels then?

They're less comfortable as a ride.
They slow the car down.

I agree the shadow design is quite pretty (thought not £415 worth of pretty), but you cuold just as easily use the shadow trims in a 17 inch size.
