Im not sure about you guys but on the GOLF R I actually miss the full chrome grill that was on the R32,that was a brilliant sight when you looked into the rear view mirror and saw an R32 is behind you especially in rising blue I thought that it really set the R32 apart from the other MK5's


true, but then again it blended in really well with all the passats out there :sad:

Mk6 Golf GTI 5dr, DBP, Monza Shadow, Xenons, ACC, RCD510, Park Assist, Camera, Lux pack.... and now bluetooth.... and now DSG!

The xenons (not standard on the passat) along with the rather obvious R32 badge set it apart.

I still fail to tell the difference between the standard MK6 and GTI from front on!  :laugh:

I always looked in my mirror and went "ooh an R32". Then it passed me and I was like "Oh it's just a jetta."

And being a typical mk5 owner, you still fail to give the mk6 any compliments. We dont expect anything less though Julie.

Is it just me or do a lot of the mark Vs look the same too? I can't tell the difference until very close up between the GT/ Sports and GTIs?
I remember a lot of twunts at work used to say my R32 looked like a passat frontage, but I could tell them a mile apart, I just put it down to people being unable to be nice about other peoples' stuff anymore.
You can tell the Mk5 people on here "oh its a facelift, oh the back end is sh!te, or its too boxy, or look those door handles, or it's being replaced in 2010 - won't be worth a tenner", and just now and then someone says something nice.
Had a mk5 gti and r32, loved em both. Got a mk6 now, and its brilliant.
5dr Silver GTI DSG (they've invented something to change gears quickly, I'm using it- has anybody specc'ed manual window winders so they feel more involved?) Leather, RNS, Blueteeth and a few odd and sods
