The critisism the Mk4 i think was well deserved because the available Build methods and advances in tecnology in the turn of the century (2000 model yr on) you would of thought Vw would of done a better job, there isnt any argument, the totally fecked it up,.
I agree. I mean for the French to be building a PUG that costs half as much that goes faster and then still branding it GTI should have been enough to wake VW up.
I think the current mk5 will be one of the best, as they are having to cut production costs on the new Mk6, and that tells you everything , its not gonna be any better then todays Mk5 .Ok it might speed up the production times but again what does that normally add up to...........
I agree. We have already decided that we will not be buying the Golf 6 when it comes out. Or at leat that what I was told. The MK5 is a complete step up ahead of the MK1. Look at what sort of acknowlegments it got.
Jeremy Clarkson- "They have put the fun back in the GTI, he even goes as far as saying its the best car in the world.
Shortly after that it won 2005 WORLD car of the year. Ok. I have no doubt that the new Citi-R (only available in SA) will tear the GTI up on acceleration and of course it will look almost identical to the MK1 except for rims etc and a revamped interior but it will never be the GTI.
I think the GTI is the best. Though maybe a bit overpriced
