Looks like it, but I'm hot on your trail. I'm sure I'll regret the heavy mileage somewhere down the line.

Wow!!!  Assuming that's a Sat and Sun, it works out at 2,000 miles per day.  Assuming you drove 24 hours per day, that works out at 83.333 miles per hour.  Plenty of Red Bull?   :shocked:

Now I've finally got round to picking mine up, I can beat you all! I went for an ex-demo for many (cheapskate) reasons and mine after a trip or two is now on just under 7000 miles. I could be the first on here to need a service!  :laugh:

I bought a Scirocco with 800 miles on it last November, chopped it in for the GTI in June with 13200 on it so I do a few miles here and there.......

I have mine since July 31, and I have travelled 4736kms already. The car sounds really good these days. I just drove my BMW 525 and realised how quiet it is. The GTI is really loud... but I like it. Just was surprised to be in a quiet car this evening... when I can barely hear the engine...

When you mean loud, do you mean road noise or is it just the engine noise? I like engine noise but hate road noise as in the MKV.
Got MSN also if u need to contact me

There is no road noise in the mk6, there is a faint rumble from the exhaust which I am told improves in sound as the miles pile on.  The cabin is one of the quietest I've been in and a great deal better than the mk5 :grin:
