Coming from a background of about 23 years driving VAG products I have to doff my hat to the mk6 GTI. It does everything that it does supremely well. So much so that it's a bit too clever for it's own good.
I'm having impure thoughts about chopping mine in for a forthcoming Polo GTI at present as I'm sure that will have a little more 'edge' to it (ie. not be quite so competant thus have a bit more character).
Having said that I'm pretty certain that I'll get a pretty crap deal so will end up happily keeping the mk6 for a good while.
The MK6 is typically VW GTI, not brilliant in any one area but unbeaten as a whole package. Sometimes the only way to remind yourself of how good it is as a package you need to sit in an Astra or Focus. The subtleness of the quality just smacks you in the face when you get back in the Golf.
