How does the MKVI feel compared to MKV?

Im considering scraping my MKV because I hate it so much, worst car I've ever owned (owned fords, volvos, audis).
The rattles are insane and the build quality is rediculous. Has that changed or will I be better off in an Audi perhaps ..

....The Mk6 GTI feels much more detached to drive - You can hardly hear the engine/exhaust due to the new soundproofing and the ride is very smooth. The interior feels far more Audi-esque and luxurious and the doors close much more 'luxuriously'. Handling is good. Brake pedal response is just as woolly as before.

But I much prefer a GTI to feel more taut and tactile to drive - I want to feel more contact with what's going on - Hence my modifications.

Linky : - GTI Mk6 Review.... < I can't remember if I also posted this on this site too.

But if you hate your Mk5 so much I can't see why you'll like this new GTI Mk5.5.

The MKV is a blast to drive, I love it on small roads, and the torque is .. well .. you know .. "good". That is why I still keep it.

However, I also want a comfortable cruiser that will let me eat mile after mile (which I do most of the time). With all the rattles and squeaks going in my MKV which I mostly drive on rough asphalt I really can't say that I'm enjoying it.

It's 28 months old and at 36 I'll be looking for a replacement. The question is, is the MKVI GTI the car for me? I must say I love the looks of it.

Think you need an R32 mate 

Demolishes miles like they are going out of fashion

[sambo]

If it's new mate take it VW and get them to fix all the rattles under warranty. Mines a very early one and is completley silent!

have only had my mk 6 for 3 days but the difference in the quality of the interior is huge....my mk 5 did have a few rattles for the whole 4 years...usually more pronounced first thing in the morning!...the 6 is rattle free so far.

It also makes a nice noise when accelerating. I was a bit worried after hearing the 'it's too quiet' comments..but mine sounds nicer and has a deeper growl than my mk 5....strange...but hey I' m happy

....Only if you drive through a tunnel or with the windows down! It's so quiet inside the car on tickover that you don't know if you've turned on the ignition

But the most important is as you say, that you are the one who is happy

Have to agree with adw555 on this one... the mk6 gti sounds alot better than the mk5. RR you sure you not comparing to your quads rather than the std twins??
