Title: Golf GTI - The Sun Newspaper
Post by: VWKev on 24 June 2009, 21:11
Big center page spread about the new Golf GTI today in The Sun newspaper. Some cracking pics of it in white, 3dr. Pics of the concorde next to it too, as the mk1 and concorde were released in the same year (1976 I believe). Concorde's famous nose was built in Scotland, and then referenced that to the tartan seats being an icon.

Probably the best quote from the full story was that the mk6 GTI is 'The best hot hatch in the world'

Canada to see the family first for a week, I aint seen them in years, then off to Vegas to the Bellagio for 2 weeks. 5 of us going, all add's up.

I wish I could do a sh!t holiday like Centerparks but I have standards where I'm from. I will get my car and none of the 'you got your car yet kev' wanky comments are making any difference to me. I can wait for the best hot hatch in the world, I've waited this long.

Cool - I've been to Vegas a few times, good laugh but I (and my wallet!) can only take a few days of it :grin:  From what I remember Centre Parcs wont be much shy of 20K - "forrest" hut for 2 nights  :grin:

Enjoy - make sure you check the forum out whilst you are away as we will need to know if you "got your car yet"  :grin:

Oh dear, if anything, knowing that the Sun thinks its a good car actually puts me off. Does this mean I will have to sell mine in 3 years' time once second hand prices fall within reach of Barryboys?

BTW, do you really talk to your wife like that, VWKev?  :undecided:

Quick question...

If someone, regardless of who they work for think the car is the best in the world, then why is that a problem for some people ? After all, don't we all think our cars are the best in the world ?
Title: Re: Golf GTI - The Sun Newspaper
Post by: Rhyso on 25 June 2009, 14:24

no i don't

whilst some aspects i do think are better than other cars as a whole package its not; the chassis being a prime example

i really like my car (most of the time) but by no means do i think its the 'best in the world'

So as Clarkson says, if I was an M3 driver I used to be a cock, and if I'm an Audi driver I'm still a cock ?  :laugh:

I don't own any car at the moment.

I think VW will have alot of money and very good PR to get what has been said in the papers about the MK6 GTI wrote.

You cant beat getting in one and driving it then realising "actually its not better than the MK5, its a bit too big around the front and doesnt really suit the lines of the body, the sirrocco looks better and is cheaper and in general the majority of car enthusiast's mags prefer the MK5 where as the lying sun reporters (have no time for the paper since Hillsborough) want to 'BUM' VW. - my opinion after a test drive of one.

I think newspapers can be easily swayed when writing reviews.

For the record the MK6 is a great car but not as well priced as it should be.
