Also check how varied the wing to a-pillar gap is on the golf :shocked:

Polos are worse door.boot.bonnet and paint, I have seen quite a few transport fulls of cars arriving at the dealers over time, how the hell they got passed factory QC i will never know.

Sciroccos don't suffer alot of the paint cutback that the golf and polo do.
I nearly cancelled my GTI at one point due to VWcustomer service/dealer and went for an instock scirocco R, I often look back and think....

That's the first thing I checked when I took delivery. Mine was alright. But I'll check again to see if it has moved!

Went out for a stroll in my area. Cold today.

Checked 5 Mk6 Golfs (3 GTis) and 3 Sciroccos.

Definitely, the Sciroccos are better made. All these Golfs have issues I've already posted about.

Nothing wrong with that. :smiley:

I think ownership of a VW Mk6 Golf GTi, nay any VW, turns one into a mental case. Their treatment of their customers is disgraceful and beyond the pale. Their sheer arrogance coupled with utter ignorance is quite extraodinary.

I have never, ever had such an unpleasant experience as that from owning this VW.

Never again.  :angry: :sick:

It will prob be my last new one too. :cry:
I still fancy a mk2 GTI or mk3 GTI to add to my fleet for winter duties/general dirty use, to replace the reliable japanese car i currently use.

My first and last VW. Sh!t make.
At least the initial part of a decision for not purchasing which make of new car has been made well in advance. :cool:

Too true Snoops, the mk2 gave the Golf a slightly upmarket image in the UK and fickle buyers and clever marketing keep that image alive.
