Title: Automatic VR6???
Post by: FastGTI on 13 January 2004, 11:56

Ive been looking for the perfect VR6 for a couple of months now and have just seen an absolute beauty of a highline advertised...only thing is its a 4 speed automatic!...

Does anyone know anything about auto VR6's?  How is 0-60, top speed, fuel consumption etc. altered?

Should I keep searching for a mint manual?

 ???

Is that any slower than the manual?  Has anyone ever drove one, owned one?

Any  auto/manual VR6 info would be apreciated...

it's a fair chunk slower to 60. makes the golf a bit more of a luxury cruiser rather than a 'performance car'. still quick but reckon you would be much happier with a manual :)

VR6 Auto = GTI 16v (0-60mph times)
