Brought this old topic back because people used words like 'stunned' about the MK5 GTI.
For the Mk6 de silva designed GTI they use words like 'nice'.
Enough said.
Yeah but the mk4 is not very good, well not in terms of performance. Standard its barely a warm hatch, the mk6 is being compared to the mk5 so its not going to be a big 'wow' description. If the mk5 was based so closely to the mk4 with little power hike it wouldnt have been received so well!
There always going to be people who dont like the next model. Every forum has the current owners slating the newest model. The ctr forum had a huge thread on the fn2, the subaru and evo forums had huge threads on the new cars, the clio 197 etc etc.
If you look at it as a car, rather than with the comparison to the mk5; its awesome!
