Title: mk6 newbie
Post by: wag29 on 04 May 2013, 15:44
Hi all joined forum to obtain loads of info on new purchase hopefully, just traded in my scirroco gt170 for a 2012 golf gti, just fancied a petrol car again as my current mileage does not warrant a diesel. my scirroco was a jan 2012 with 6900 miles on clock and I put only 3500 of those myself in 8 months as I am only a weekend driver, so I thought if I am going for a petrol then might aswell go for a 4 door for practicality reasons so purchased a pre-reg 5 door in carbon grey with Glendale alloys, leather, xenons and dsg box. just trying to get use to the fuel gauge moving down a lot quicker than my scirroco :shocked: but love driving it and worth the extra pennies to run, will try and get some decent photos up soon. :smiley:

Welcome!
Both sound really nice cars!
Nearly went in the opposite direction myself due to mileage increasing from a weekend only GTI!!
But things settled down and the GTI stayed. Still love Sciroccos though!! Always fancied a 170 DSG GT or better still an RLine with the Luganos

Hi yes the scirroco is a good looking car but I think as an all round package the golf comes up trumps, the vw 170 engine is a cracking engine for power delivery and economy, but I was just not doing the miles and decided to go to petrol for the exhaust sound and performance. If anyone asked me though I would still say the scirroco is a cracker :cool:
