Morning all
Just read (Loooked at the pictures) this weeks autocar Mag, and stumbled across a 2 page spread on used MK5 GTI's stating (what we already know) that they are the best GTI's of the lot!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:
They have given buying tips ect.. but also gave the forum a mention for advise and info on MK5's :grin:
Its nice to know the cars & the forum are liked

MK6 I think you'll find that is :wink:
-
Tits so it is ha must have got confused by all the figures :huh: still a good article, but mk5 are better :grin: ...
-
Just before I bought mine a few weeks ago, I test drove a mk5 and mk6 back to back. Wasn't really anything in it imho, certainly not enough to justify the price difference...

Cant blame him can you. You need a microscope to tell the diffrence :D :D
-
well off coarse i ment mk6 i obviously just sliped when pressing 6 and pressed 5 instead youd have to be stupid to not notice the difference :laugh:
-
The Mk6 always reminds me of a foetus for some reason. Our Mk5s have lots more road presence.
One of the main points in the Autocar article is to avoid remapped cars, this is repeated a few times.
It's just as well the Bluefin allows me to reset the ECU to the original map :smug: unlike other mappers :rolleyes:

mk5 obviously looks much better
I thought that myself when I had the Ed30, but I have to say its grown on me , now looking at the Mk5 it looks dated imo, just today alone I have seen 4gti all mk5's and look old now!! :smug:
-
Are you sure they wasnt MK6s? Its an easy mistake to make as we have already proven in this thread :D
I can do this all day :D :D

mk5 is a top car for sure, but you cant deny the mk5.3.6 rev 4 beta 38 build 4409 is the better car surely ?

You two are right, but it only started with the leak through visitors arrival from the MK5.5 section :tongue:
-
Yes there is a very wierd pong in this newly dug graveyard.
I know, all the cheap plastics on the Mk 5 melting in the heat.
Really low rent interior, ugly snout, sooooooo last Tuesday. YAWN!
Upgrade, update you little upstarts of yesteryear.
PS: Have a nice weekend and hope they don't break down too often. :cry:
-
If i am honest...
The front of the mk6 looks the best... followed by the ed30
the rear of the mk5 R32 looks the best.. followed by the ed30
the interior of the mk6 wins hands down..
the R32 sounds the best..
the R is the quickest.
all IMO of course :cool:

The Mk6 rules and by a reasonable margin.
I'll post pictures of my Mk6 and neighbour's Mk5 nose to tail soon.
The Mk5s body is covered in unnecessay addenda which was fine for the early 2000s.
That is, the Mk5 has too much go-faster plastic everywhere making it look more Japanese than European.
But to be fair, when it was released it was way ahead in its looks over its competitors. These differences are less with the Mk6. In its heyday, which was not that long ago, it ruled supremely and more than the Mk6 does today.
It is still a very good car, but slightly dated especially on the inside.
Sorry, but I have to stick up for Wolfgang!

Golf R??? :huh:

good point! maybe when they come down a bit in price then! :laugh:

I saw a golf R at the weekend for the first time, it was nicer than the mk6 gti but if i wer looking for that sort of motor i'd go for a S3.
-

is that just because the s3 is cheaper? or because you want the old model with a new a3 shape due out??
-
The bland, zero road presence, styling of the Mk6 was an attempt to stop the Golf taking away profitable Audi sales.
Fair enough, but it's a shame for the GTI.
-
Golf R with the MK5 engine you mean? . . . :D :D :D
Suprised this still going lol
-
If they make a MKVI Golf GTI Edition35, then I MAY think about getting one......Maybe!
IF...
It has at least 400+bhp capability on the stock turbo :rolleyes:
Otherwise it would be too slow for me :tongue:

I just prefer the S3 to the R.
I didnt know the S3 was cheeper but now i do, i prefer it even more :evil:

I thought the the golf R has he same turbo as the ed30? pretty much the same as an s3 in a golf body... i would have thought 400bhp wouldnt not be a problem, with the added benifit of AWD also.
-
Yes, the Golf R does indeed have the same turbo (and engine) as the ED30 but Hurdy was talking about a so called 35th edition which will happen I would have thought (a 25th and 30th have both been made, theres also an Anni MK3 which at a guess is a 20th edition?).

Hi guys! Going back to the original posting - I can't find Autocar here in France! Does anybody fancy scanning the article and posting here or even emailing directly to me?
Thanks in advance.............

It's not that amazing, it just says what enthusiasts already know. There's no comparison to the Mk6 or anything.
