This is what im not understanding. Its seems to be the MkV crew trying to beat down on the Mk6 Constently.
The GTI is not a 3.2V6 so if you were looking to compare your thingy size with the New GTI your in the wrong thread.
Ide rather own the Mk6 GTI to R32. My opinion. If ide wanted an R32 ide of bought 1 over my MkV but I prefered the Turbo charged Engine. More easily tuned. Alot less hassle. Less Fuel Consumption.
And yes the new GTI corners better then the MkV. I drive my GTI within an Inch of its life and mine down these country roads. Right on the Limit of where you know the car can handle. I hit the same corners at the same speed and I cudda gone much faster as much as 10mph Ide dare to say the breaks felt more responsive.
lol, I could list the R32's (MANY) faults but im not going to. Im not out to bash the R32 but its annoying these people just coming in here to bash a car they know nothing about. ill be sure to tell you what the Mk6 is like when I take delivery 6-7weeks now.
Not aware of many common faults at all, having been on r32oc for a while and owning one i have no idea what you are on about?
Not sure how any turbo car is less hassle than an N/A, regardless of CC's. My engine with forged internals is bullet proof and will take more than 500bhp with out hassle, something a GTI (mk6 included) will not do (so it is not more tunable, just cheaper to tune) I get 30mpg without much issue, hardly poor for a fast 4wd hatchback and not that much off the GTI. For these reasons the mk6 is a downgrade in nearly every way for me (its brakes are not as good as the R32's either) and is merely a step sideways for any mk5 gti owners.
Its practically a facelift mk5 which means very few people will be buying one (with their own money at least) as it offers nothing new. A brake upgrade, proper LSD (not a fake one) and a remap will see off a mk6 with enough money left over to pay off a chunk of the mortgage and go on holiday

Oh and if you read the title it says mk5 owners, of which i am one, so im not in the wrong thread
