Scirocco better made then a Golf?

[Steve30]

As for Gilly, you only lease your car so I'm not surprised you don't give two hoots about how it looks day to day, especially if your employer pays for all or a large part of that lease. I especially see where you're coming from when I consider all of the things you've said you've had happen to it 

tis true.. i dont really care about the car that much as it will end up VW's problem again at some point. I judge a car on its ability to deliver. As a daily driver the golf doesnt do much wrong.. Good economy when in traffic, good performance when required, can fit most items in when required, and looks good.

Thats about all i require from a car... for me its a work horse that is there to serve a purpose, and i will judge the car when it comes to the end of its life with me. Had a few problems with it so far.. nothing too serious, but in my book its already behind the mk5 R32 i used to have. 30k I did in that and it never missed a breath.


p.s. i am my employer 

Gilly I think  the mk5 was a lot more solid motor

Certinaly built much better IMO, but the mk6 is more refined ??

Thats another reason why i gave my mk6 back and bought a new s3 Sportback for the same price. Much better build quality with leather, 18's and zenons as standard plus 4 wheel drive of course. All this for 30k. Like for like much better value and solid build.
I do like the mk6 but the cons outweigh the pros i'm afraid. And as i continue to read this forum i'm becoming more assured of my decision.
Fantastic opinions by everyone guys. Keep up the great posts.

If I had to choose another VW ( other than a Golf ) it would be a Passat CC. Pricey and fuel economy would be cr@p but a Passat CC GT V6 FSI DSG with 19" Lugano alloys 'floats my boat'. A great looking car imo but a blatant Mecedes CLS copy!

But better than a CLS

A couple of weeks ago there was a comparison between a used CLS and a Passat CC in Auto Car.

Any chance of an online link?

I think Fifth gear did the same test a while back, from memory they said the Passat was as good a car in terms of quality, finish etc.
