Coming from a Scirocco 2.0TSI.

Golf is quicker, sharper, better built, easier to live with and more prestigious IMO.

isn't it near enough the same car?

My 4 year old subaru Impreza WRX is being sold tomorrow (to a dealer), took it out for a drive to use up the excess fuel earlier tonight- i thought hire cars were meant to be the fastest cars on the road- not this time- I can still smell the clutch on my clothes! did a fair few 0-60s and up and down a few nice local roads [all within the speed limit of course...]

i've got a couple of months of driving the wife's mini cooper before the gti arrives, so hopefully i'll forget how fast the subaru was.

looking forward to the little luxuries - mostly DSG and leather, but also the sunroof, xenons, ipod connection, and not having to parallel park myself anymore!
Just sold an S5 - previously mkV R32 DSG Metallic Grey with RNS 510 (thanks to MortyGT140)

Scirocco and MKVI the same Donnie? No mate, very different cars indeed, both great in different ways too but the GTI does it for me more...

Huh, the new Scirocco and the Mk6 are IDENTICAL floorpans/chassis, running gear, electrics, brakes, steering . . . .  :huh:

I have to agree that the rocco and mk6 are miles apart in terms of driving. I didnt like the rocco at all. Loved the mk6.
