I don't get it :huh:

Why buy a 'fast car' and then worry about fuel consumption?

The GTI is a car for petrol heads and boy is it s**t off a shovel fast?  For those who worry about burning fuel the GTI isn't for you :wink:

I really don't get it!
Call me old fashioned, but if you want to get a hot hatch, why are you discussing mpg?
It is like you want to get a woman pregnant whilst wearing a well fitting condom!
Daft! :rolleyes:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

I agree with the first part, but even coming from a 140hp TDI Eos I was ever so slightly disappointed with the power of the stock car. The Revo'd engine is a different matter :cool:

The GTI badge always stood for good all rounder, that includes MPG.
So yes MPG does count.

Oh and i suspect like the mk5 GTI the manual does 10% better mpg than the automatic DSG.

you see i DONT agree that "MPG doesnt matter". The MPG was SO shocking on my MK5 GTI that i may as well run an R32 with its AWD and V6 sound......trouble is that MPG on turboed cars is such a red herring coz the "official" tested figures are achieved off boost, ie driving like a granny.......MPG is NOT my MAIN concern, but i expect to see something CLOSE to the official figures, UNLIKE my experience with the MK5 GTI. The significantly recuded road tax would suggest it is less thirsty than the MK5.......but ive also heard the MK6 is SLOWER on the 0-60 dash.......DISCUSS??????
