What a bunch of gays

how so?

135i + fun factor

135i + long visit to Specsavers!
Uness it's a coupe...but then you loose practicality.

135 if you are a tool!   

It would have to be the coupe.. I wasnt even aware they did the hatch with the same engine

Regardless of what people think the 1 series is better quality than the golf and very few mods will have you pushing nearly 400bhp from a car the size of a golf with RWD... a tool indeed

Much rarer sight that a golf also

Maybe. But it'll get to the point where they suddenly find people will stop buying the cars. That "prestige" saloon they made springs to mind - the Phaeton. Yes, good car but are you seriously going to buy that over a Jag, Beemer, Merc etc. etc. etc?

Er, no.

Me. I love the Phaeton and if I were rich enough to be buying a car in that segmant it's the one I'd buy hands down over the others.

I think looks are always down to personal opinion. I definately wouldnt say its better looking that the golf... but once your in the car who cares what the outside looks like anyway

They quite possibly don't...I've never looked at the hatch...only the coupe.
Nice car...stonking engine...but not for me - just too impractical for an everyday car - I need to fetch the shopping in it remember!

The RWD is a problem for me, as an everyday car too.
Too much snow and frost...

True.
Some nice colour combinations too - interior and exterior...the Mk6 Golf / 'rocco seems to have a pretty poor colour choice...and an even worse interior choice, considering the money!
Why can't you have Viper Green paint on a Scirocco with Truffle leather?
If I'm paying £28k+ I want to decide...not VW!
Why don't VW offer a grey leather option for the Mk6, as they did the Mk5?

You would also need to be rich enough to not give a stuff what it's worth 2 years down the line - in the case of the Phaeton, not much - about £13.47 and some piocket fluff is the best offer you'll get!

I like the car though...buy a 12-18 month old one and let some other fool take it in the ass for depreciation.

Yeah I know about the loss you'll make but TBH if you can afford a car in that sector those sorts of things are not likely to play heavily on your mind, ha ha.

There are a couple in Reading that I see every now and again and they have a really solid and imposing road presence and yet are subtle enough to blend in with the daily traffic.

mmmmm that Rocco R looks the sh!z 

The Golf R still doesn't look 'aggressive' enough   



Phaeton = Suped Passat imho  I see one quite often in/near Wally and really don't see the point of it 
It probably hasn't sold as well as others because it's a newer model and doesn't have quite the same presence/name in the 'circles' of prestige saloon owners, praps if they advertised it more than the Passat it would sell better?

Thats the problem right there. If you can afford a car in this sector your simply going to go for the one that costs the most/has the most toys/is voted the best/goes the fastest etc etc.

Unfortunately as good as that car is... its none of those things
