I like em.  Good looking cars, really really nice interior but its not that different to the mk5 (apart from the interior) to make me jump out of mine and buy one.  Dynamically they will be much and such the same.  But the price is just nuts, and it makes me think there will be no R20.  If there was it would be priced way into S3 money without options... or is that VW's cunning plan so that it doesn't undercut the S3 too much  :undecided:

If the specification were same, just how much more is the 6 compared with the 5? Also I think VW should have had a newer alloy instead of using up Monza's.
At 28k which will equal well over 40k (Euro) here in Ireland I will stick to my BMW!

I also just went to the Audi web site and configures an S3 with a few bits and only got to just over 30k without Nav and just over 31k with Nav. Now I know which one I would rather have!

Its £22,415 retail and £20,095 with an internet dealer. If the mk6 came with the same extras the mk5 does then there would not be a problem, its just that most extras on the mk6 dont come as standard pushing the price up.

I'd rather have a mk5 or mk6 GTI than an S3, each to their own.

Interesting. I have ordered my GTI with 17" wheels totally blind, having never seen the wheels or the car itself. I didn't order the 18" horseshoe wheels as I find them particularly nasty, so I stuck with the 17" ones... which I will be selling on eBay as son as the car is delivered in favour of these, which I got cheap on German eBay last week and which were delivered today :)

Hi Guys...

I'd been into Priory Pk VW (JCT600) in Hull yesterday and they had a silver 5 door GTi with DSG and a few options on it.

£28k ish I was told by the sales guy....

Discounts on it I said, he just laughed....

The car did look better in the flesh, but with no side skirts and those gloss black wheels... No thanks
Inside was 100% better in build quality / finish.

After seeing it now I'm glad I've gone for the Audi 2.0T A4 Quattro S Tronic S Line.
And the discounts are far better....
My total list price was £33,200 but with discounts I've got it for £29,150.
So you could say I'm a HAPPY CHAPPY  :grin: :grin: :grin:
This is what she'll look like when I collect it end of June.

I love the sales guys that do that, just say to them while walking away back into your car heading to another garage, "keep laughing..." Then when leaving the forecourt, give em a nice wave.

ive rang a few dealers and none of them are willing to give a discount, (im a cash buyer aswell) some in fact are coming across a bit cocky and arrogant .i speak nice to them,just ask the question,i don't insist on discount just because im a cash buyer but i wouldnt min a couple of free options tho. So does anyone know any vw dealers who give some discount ?
