DSG, 5 doors.
Anything else is a waste of money that can be spent on the Mk7.
:grin: :grin:  he wants a well specced car now not in 4 years time!
Mk7 is to be shown in 2 years.  The Mk5+reskin Mk6 will have had a 7 year life by then, and the hybrids will be coming thick and fast from the other makers.
Can I ask - Mr Hairy Potter - were you dropped on your head when you were a nipper? Just curious.  :rolleyes:
Why would VW want, in such tough times, spend money on R&D of MK7 if Mk6 has just been introduced and is selling great???? The MK5 was too expensive to build and that's why MK6 was introduced. It may be similar to MK5 on the outside but it is a new model nd will stay here till 2016.
Golf GTI VI DSG - died on the road, resurrected, came back as zombi, sold
R - rising blue, 5-door, DSG, ACC, something something...

poooossaaay. you just have to drive with your head and not your arse.

at least you can park without sensors though. could be the first mk6 on this forum fitted without parking aids?

If you look at that photo the track is actually narrower than the Mk6.
For country lane blasters that is good news.

I've just got the basic 310 audio, and I wouldn't criticise anyone who went for better.  I didn't think I wanted the bigger screen on the console, but the sound quality is just OK.

Not really complaining, but I was expecting it to be a bit more exciting than it is.

It's really bad.
No one tests the stereo on a test drive.

I hate VW but the DSG forced me to them.  I've found the car to be very good in parts and poor in others (like the steering, rattles, ugly bum, and poor mpg (26)).

Bluetooth is essential for legal and safer use of the phone whilst on the move.

The factory fir works well if (big if) you have certain nokias.

Otherwise the fiscon after market kit is well regarded for wider compatability.

Larger screen with the rcd510 much nicer too.

Yeah I'm now sold for sure on the rcd510 and dyaudio.  Will get my own blue tooth kit fiscon sounds like a plan.
