Lovely car mate !

Very nice mate !!

Its growing on me more and more by the day.

Just out of interest what tyres have VW given you with it?

Nice walling around your garden too.

you even got a compilment of the biggest mk6 hater jules    Very nice

lol I actually like the MK6, more than every other hatch! Im just disappointed (and slightly bitter) about the lack of a true R (i.e. V6, 4wd) as it would be a truly stunning car if they made it!

I also dont think any mk5'er hates it, just a slight disappointment that is a revised mk5. But then as the old saying goes 'if aint broke, dont fix it'.

VW never ever said it was going to be radically different, it was always meant to be just a slight facelift and most importantly to get away from the expensive costs of the mk5.

Jules, you do realise that the Golf R will have more power and more torque than your R32?

[Jkctr]

Yep, this is more of a downside for me mate as it wont be usable (not fully anyway)

If i wanted a fast FWD hatch i would have bought an ED30.

After driving 4WD i just couldnt go for something powerful with fwd now! An old cliche but as soon as it rains it wont matter if it has 100 bhp and lb/ft of torque more.

[AlanD]

I agree, BUT its not been confirmed that its FWD or 4WD (not my knowledge anyway?)

[Jkctr]

Its been pretty much confirmed that no 4wd system will be being used. They wont compete against the S3 mate lets face it.

Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.
