When I took my Mk5 in for a service the service manager said they rarely saw them in for repair work.  Especially for engine related issues.  Just thought I'd throw that in there...

Engines are generally hassel free, as I havent hear of many issues certainly on here. Its all the other bits and incompetent dealers you have to worry about :embarassed:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Get the Pirelli, keep it for a year or so then get a 6 month old Mk6 when someone else has taken some of the depretation hit and all (if any) of the teething problems are resolved.

Nice decision to be making though!  :cool:

I still think the rear light clusters of the mk6 look a bit vauxhall and anonymous. much prefere the rear look of the mk5. I can spot a mk5 on the motorway from 100 yards.

The rear is very US looking. And certainly don't like the twin exhaust arrangement.

But warming to the front, although it has a bit of Fiat Multipla about it :D

Still MK5 every single day... get the Pirelli!

The rear look like a small Toureg... I prefer the rear of the Mk6 to the Mk5. I never liked the black plastic on the rear bumber of the Mk5. Just my opinion though  :wink:

Mk6 over the Pirelli as I really dont like the Pirelli, looks a bit cheap to me.

I'm pretty sure there are still one or two Pirellis available new for around £20k if you search....
