Difficult choice.  Black would be my initial preference, as it's a timeless colour and gives the car an upmarket feel, however having owned three consecutive metallic black cars in the past, I fancied a change (also got fed up with all the scratches and swirl marks).

White seems to be the colour of the moment and I'm not quite sure how fashionable it will be three years down the line, but I do think White show off the lines and features of the car a lot better e.g. red striping along front grille and red brake calipers.  I also think that it makes the car stand out from the crowd.  Definitely not for the shy and retiring!

MK6 looks mean in Tornado red imo.

Out of black or white id get a white one.

Hey koop, yeah been drooling over them, thanks for posting them up.

Did you ask or know if all garages now have their mk6's or is that them just filtering through now ?

ye i asked them, not all garages have them. this dealer was a huge one and was only a demonstrator obv. he said vw would be dripping them through rather than a whole load. so much for any discount deals!

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
