Title: Sat in a MKVI today
Post by: synnea on 02 January 2009, 15:45

Popped into my local dealer today and there was a new 5 door silver 2.0 TDI MKVI. Very nice it was. Had a sit in the drivers seat. My only feelings were, this is very nice but not much different to the MKV. A few tweaks here and there. Looks the part for sure both inside and out. The main thing I was happy about was when I got back into my MK5 R32 the interior didnt make me feel like I was in a 'last model shape' car. MKVI very nice but until there is a new R variant or equivalent Ill be more than happy in my MKV R. And it will still turn heads for years to come  :smiley:

I have had a look at one too, a 5door silver TDI and imo the back lights don't look as bad to me as they do in every photo i have seem but the interior to me feels a big step up from the mk5 but thats just my opinion. Im not sure about the exterior door handles though and the heater knobs don't feel that good a quality to operate compared to the rest of the interior.
