Well DUH!

Obviously all MK6 owners shop at Lidl, so they'd be first to see this.

 :rolleyes:

That's why I didn't post this in the MK6 section.

No.

I tried one.

It did 14MPG on the test drive.

I will never own a car that does that on a known circuit of A and B roads.

14 MPG, you just make things up  :rolleyes:

No, that was what the display read and they're normally pretty accurate.  I may have driven the sh*t out of it, but that's kinda the point of a test drive.

Doesn't matter what I do to my old Golf I wouldn't be able to get the consumption below 20MPG.

Why would I make up the figure?  :huh:

I quite like them, cant see what the problem is with them? They are nice cars.

Im not saying you didnt get 14MPG DH (because I cant be arsed to argue) but its hardly fair to say that, you really must have drove it like you stole it. Thats not how you would normally drive it.

How boring am I to not keep poking the MK6 boys.

Post by: dubber36 on 30 January 2012, 17:35
I don't know what's with the Mk6 hate. As an everyday car, I'd always choose to drive my Mk6 over my Mk2.

The Mk2 is a great car for making me feel good once in a while, but as a machine for doing a job, the Mk6 wins hands down.

You can't have the boxy shape any more...it doesn't meet current legislation. Sadly, that's progress folks.

Unless you've driven one for more than the period of a test drive, you are not in a position to judge.  The mk6 is actually a very nice car to drive and being based on the mk5 platform is very similar to that although interior and handling are greatly improved.

An I'd love a mk6 for a daily, as much as I love my mk2's there comes a time (most days in fact) when you just want to jump in, turn a key an go! I'd definitely be down VW making a purchase if I wasn't getting married this year......

You'd get touchy if you'd spend +£30k (or whatever they cost) and people came on here, which is supposed to be home of the Golf GTI and started lampooning your relatively-gently depreciating new car!  :grin:

I wonder how many retro Golf owners would have hated the new fangled Mk1 GTI in 1976, saying it was sh1t compared to the Austin A30 they were driving around in at the time?

Dear Mods,

Those nasty b@stards outside the mk6 section are calling my car sh1t and other horrible things  :cry:

Can you please ask them to stop it. Don't they realise I spent nearly £27k on this car and I expect to be treated better when I come on here. Oh, and stop them coming into the mk6 section as well while your about it as we don't want people with lesser Golfs spoiling it for us.




just kidding, now piss off   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

They're only jealous because they havn't got the balls to saddle themselves with 25K of debt, to enable them to ponce about in a fancy looking car like many Mk6 owners do. (None on this forum obviously) It's a car FFS.

Golf's are tossers cars full stop.  I mean, I'm a bellend, Blue is a cheese piece, Thom you smell of turps, and JV is sooooo stupid he has to get in the passenger side or his car to drive it, douchebag!

I would have a mk6 in a heartbeat, maybe even a Scirocco, but my days of spunking large amounts of cash on new cars is over.  You'll never make money on them, so I don't personally see the point.

My Ofiice is at the end of my garden, so I walked across the frozen lawn with a cup of coffee warming my hands, while my Mk6 was tucked up nice and warm in the garage and my Mk2 was wrapped up even warmer under it's cover in my parents heated garage.  :smug:
