MK6 GTI Review thread
« on: 16 July 2009, 19:18 »
I see we dont have an official review thread on here so thought it might be a good idea to start one. Lets keep it comment free and only link to reviews of the MK6 GTI. Great way to help the minutes tick by as most of us are still awaiting our cars :cool:

I will start with this one from Evo magazine. Enjoy!

Sticky anyone???

The Mark VI Golf GTI is what happens when, ideologically speaking, that Porsche and that Polo are subject to some sort of stem cell research to find a cure for the fact that nobody can afford fast cars any more. It's the hybrid love child of extravagance and conservatism. And in this respect it is, essentially, perfect.

I'm in three minds here.

1.  The mere thought of my beloved Peugeot being crushed absolutely breaks my heart.  :cry:
2.  I jumped on the Golf quite suddenly, without even having had a good look at the other car on my short list, the Focus ST.  Should I have weighed it up more systematically?  :undecided:
3.  Then I read this stuff, and it's just, WANT!!!!  WANT IT NOW!!!  :grin:

Three months is an awfully long time to wait....
