No faults. RCD510 upgrade (the 310 looked awful) and bluefin.
Love it.

I'm pefectly cool with the 310, too!  One minor niggle to do with the shift of the left rear-view mirror in reverse which only happens when using one of the two keys (spooky!), plus the repair necessitated by the mallard-murdering episode.

Still madly in love.

Glad to hear it guys, after much dilemma over a GTI or GTD I finally took the plunge to upgrade my mark 5 to the mark 6 hopefully before the end of the year to beat the VAT increase.

It ended up being the heart strings rather than the head that swayed it. Both great cars and it really is the best diesel engine I have drove, but to me the GTI just has that special image and its a purely personal thing with doing 10 K a year.
