GTI Mark 6 Owners

[GolfTi]

Some of us can only dream what its like to drive the GTI down a twisty B-road and over take on a A road.
Can you tell us.

Personally, it is a lot faster going down an A or B road in mine than a MKVI

*goes and hides behind my MKVI proof settee*

Feels a MkI v's MkII v's Tugboat v's Tank v's MkV v's MkVI thread coming on

I just love GTIs, all of them.














Apart from the mk3 GTI which was a mistake. (Hope I'm safe posting this in the mk6 section..)

It's about time we had a bit of freindly rivalry banter between the two sections - MKIV's and MKV's did it for a while when the MKV first came out, but it didn't last long and we all knew what the outcome would be

You can't beat a bit of banter to pass away the hours

You can't simply put that without any true justification

Stock MKV GTI v's Stock MKVI GTI the tale of the tape and reviews says 10% better, but what about ED30 MKV GTI - it cost about the same as a MKVI GTI, but is more powerful and more tuneable!

Not as clearcut as you think

Ah well, yes. The ED30 is a (almost) limited edition model though, of which there is no equivalent MkVI. A possible spiritual successor might be the Scirocco R? Perhaps if the economy recovers in time one day they'll build a run-out special GTI with the Scirocco R engine, then the playing field will be level.

Until then the Ed30 is the better performer, if lacking a little in sophistication and style

Thanks for the replies you cant beat reading owners views.
I had a mark 2 GTI I bought as a demonstrator which for me has been the best drivers car. Since then I have had different Golfs and Passat , Audi A3 ? currently I went piratical with an Outlander. None of these cars could touch the mark 2 GTI for driving pleasure including the Audi A3.
It took me a bit of convincing the wife to change down to a smaller car after the outlander but she eventually came round. So after driving diesels for the past 15 years I am truly excited. The fact I live in a village surrounded by A and B roads is going to make the experience of owning a GTI truly enjoyable.
I would love to make the effort and turn up to one of these GTI meetings in the future.

Agan thaks to all the replies

But we now have the Golf R on our side 

MK6 wins!

The Golf R has the same engine as the Edition 30 and is heavier and has 4WD drivetrain losses to cope with.

Do you think VW would let me hook my Performance box to the R when I test drive it next week?
