Sorry as much as I like my Mk6 I just had to vote for the Mk2 as I would sell my 6 long before I would ever think about selling the Mk2. :smiley:

What makes you think people here would automatically vote for the Mk6?!   :wink:  I had to vote Mk2, because it is simply the best GTI and car I have ever driven and I have driven a few cars in my time.  I have some perspective on this from the fact that I have owned mint examples of the Mk1, Mk2 8v and 16v, Mk3 8v and VR6, Mk4 1.8T, Mk5 GTI, Ed30 and R32 and drove a Mk6 GTI demonstrator for a whole day last summer when they first came out (I have now ordered one). 

If I was to place in order of best to worse, I would say, Mk2 16v ( :drool: :drool:), Mk5 GTI/Ed30, Mk1 GTI, Mk6 GTI, Mk2 8v, Mk4 1.8T and finally Mk3 8v...

I drove a red GTi Mk 2 for 3 months and it was truly wonderful. As I did not own it, I have not voted for it. :sad:

Loved my MK2 16V,  the engine just seemed so sweet at the red line, but the brakes were horrendous,  :evil:

Really?  Every one of my Mk216v's (I have owned about 7) had superb brakes.   :huh:

Maybe what I should have said was brake pedal feel, yes the brakes did stop you but it was like pressing your foot on a sponge.

For me it was a toss up between the ED30 & mk6 very difficult desion to make really , so I chose the MK6 reason being its a better cabin only just though!! Still love the DSG ed30 gear leaver!!  :cool:
