I would be impressed if anyone actually noticed they have done anything lol.

Why aren't they using the mk7 base?

They only usually make a new cabrio every other generation of Golf, but took their time to get the latest one out (probably because of the availability of the Eos.

There was a MK1 based cabrio right the way through the MK2 hatch availability. The Mk3 Golf brought a MK3 based cabrio that hasn't changed until this MK6 based one.

Shouldn't this be in the Mk6 section?  :wink:

But yeah I'm a bit surprised they haven't brought out an MQB Cabriolet. Audi where quick of the mark with a new A3 Convertible.

Wow, when you see them :grin: :grin: side by side the changes are really noticeable. So much so I've changed my mind - it's a winner  :grin: :grin: :rolleyes:

Remember, we want pics when yours arrives : p

 :grin: :grin: I'm already planning where I can take this beauty when I get my hands on it. Can't wait to hit the open road and feel the wind in my hair  :cool: :cool: :grin: :grin:

Get yourself a powerful hairdryer.  Much cheaper and you get to keep your self respect  :grin:

Mr Ex, I think you harbour a secret desire for one (in white of course).  Get a grip man!  :kiss: :laugh:


I'm actually more of a Steel Grey man at heart. Matches my hair.

The one I was loaned was Steel Grey too.

Well a man with such a head of distinguished hair simply cannot be seen in the mutation that is the Golf Cabrio.  Stick with your white R, and your dignity will be preserved.  :cool:

It looks sh1te, just like every Golf cabrio before it! I remember when the MK4 Golf was new-ish they gave the cabrio a MK4-like nose but it was still a MK3 in every other department.
