Mk6 GTi - how would you improve the current GTi?
« on: 28 March 2008, 16:06 »
After a day of cleaning my car went for a little spirited drive, which got me thinking how are VW going to improve the current GTi with the mk6 model?

Can they make a prettier, quicker or more fun hatchback than the mk5?

It's a hard act to follow and I have a horrible feeling the MKVI will be a huge let down.

if they made it look the exact same but took all the little faults and gave it an ed30 engine as standard then it may be improved!!! :smiley:

1. Proper Sat Nav with full post code search and speed camera database :rolleyes:

2. Redesign the tailgate so the water doesn't pish in when you open it :cry:

3. Brake disc hubs which don't rust :huh:

That's about it I think :smiley:

The petrol cap has got a lip on it that slots onto the fuel cap cover (bit that flips out) for people that dont want to stand there holding the cap  :grin:

This lot won't do that, it might scratch their paintwork!
