Hi there, about to trade in my 2004 DSG GTi for a newer one (and a manual instead). Cost might rule out a 2009 Mk VI, so I might end up with a 2007/8 Mk V. But still, just in case.... wondered what the general feedback was for drivers going from the Mk V to Mk VI?
suspect you're all biased, but thought I'd ask! cheers.
-
If I was buying myself a gti I'd go for a mk5 DSG sub 10k with 18's and xenons.
Tell me all about yours and you may have a buyer :-)
-
is that because you prefer the Mk V, or just the cost on the VI? TBH, I'm assuming there's not that much to choose between them - VI having a bit more power, slightly nicer/newer inside, few more toys? Personally I think the Mk V looks better too.
as for mine... Tornado Red, Dec 2004, DSG, 5-dr, 53k miles, great condition inside and out, FVWSH. Also all the extras (inc. Xenons), except no parking sensors or (sorry) the 18" Monzas.
Yours for sub-10k! :wink:
-
There's no way I'm going into this on here or I'll be shunned forever :grin:
I just love the MK5 GTI DSG.
Does it have a sunroof?
How much is your car then?
-
The only real advantages of the mk6 over the mk5 gti are the mpg (which is not why you buy a gti) and the interior (which again is not why you buy a gti)
mk5 ftw :lipsrsealed:
-
If you don't want to spend over £20k I'd spend my money on an MK5 R32.

There's a very nice 3dr fully loaded mk6 gti in white £17k on the trader

Really mate, I had two new MK5 R32's and they both left me wanting more power :undecided:

If it were me in your shoes, I'd go for a Mk V GTi Edition 30
Great car, great handling and plenty of punch with 230bhp (standard); or 280+ bhp (remapped Stage 1) if you're that way inclined.
Should hold it's value well too if you look after it :smiley:

Agreed - now sell me yours :grin:

Yep. Ed30 all day long.

Looks like you're in a buying mood :laugh:
I parked up next to a mint ED 30 the other day and it brought back happy memories of mine (sold to a fellow forum member too in the end) :evil:

would love to stretch to the Ed30, but not sure the budget can cover that. And if I'm honest, not sure it looks as nice as the standard, but that's just me.
Btw, that white Mk6 in Autotrader - love it. Shame I need 5 doors. White definitely the best colour for Mk V or Mk VI in my view. This may be because my first every car was white, altho they do seem really popular now.
-
I guess looks are subjective :rolleyes:
I much prefer the colour coded side sills / bumpers etc of the Ed 30, particularly in Candy White. I never liked the black lower edges on the standard the GTi. The wheels can be changed too :smiley:

As to price - I'd gve thought £9,500 - £10,000 would get you a nice 2007 manual ED 30 ?

See I'm the opposite, I prefer the more subtle look of the standard Mk5 GTI. :undecided:
-
Yep. Ed30 all day long.
Changed my mind on the R32, I'd go for an ED30 as a remap turns it into monster.....

I'm still with PenguinGTi on this one, although that white Ed30 is very tasty!

............i did & it's the best thing i ever did. Ed 30 all the way. :cool:
-
if your on a budget, as has been said, a good spec, good condition Edition30 in either transmission is the best VFM. :smiley:
-
Yep ED30 or even better R32 :wink:
