^ spot on. Looks gross from the rear and pretty sexy from the front. I do also like the panoramic roof you can spec on them. Hopefully the next model will have an arse-lift!!

I drove an R, its the rear end saddle bags that i don't like. Also the rear vision through the letter box rear window. I had no complaints about the interior myself.

I think you are being a bit harsh

My wife has 2.0 TSI, comes with standard ACC, better cd than golf, and in sport mode sticks to corners.

I still think it looks great, but hate travelling in the back

I have ed 30, just ordered Mk 6 candy white 5 doors 18'' monzas, sun roof winter pack

promised oct/nov..................

remember the wait for the roc.

Why?
Its very much a subjective thing and for me it is now very dated and doesn't appeal.

hey
ive got a new scirocco and the interior is nigh on identical to the gti. i sat in a golf r and thought the position was a bit high for me-im 6ft4-but i love the lower driving position of the roc. rear visibility was a bit of an arse at first but the side mirrors are so good i dont find it a prob now. shes got a big bum fair enough but for my money the mk 6 gti isnt a patch to look at as the mk5 gti.

I drove the Scirocco R before I bought the Golf - I thought it was a marginally better drive but have to agree about the interior finish being a bit behind the Mk6 Golf - not surprising as it's from the Mk5 era.

As for looks, I'd take a voluptuous rear over a skinny arse any day  :evil:

my sister have rocco, the lower driving position of the roc is perfect, rocco is the state of art, gti is conservative, gti mk 6 is the best car when we talk about everyday using, rocco is best coupe for the money in that price range, gti is better finished than rocco inside, i was pick gti, but my opinion is that both cars are great, question is what you want - conservative good car for something more than drive around or pure joy in ride, in rocco you will have a feeling - what a feeling, gti - choice with a more sense

gti - worsprung durch technik
rocco - car with soul
