Mk6 GTi - how would you improve the current GTi?

[speedynz]

Greater agility and a LSD.

[MarkS]

I reckon it'll have a similar chassis to the Mk5 but with updated shocks, brakes and arb's.
With the powerplant from the Ed30 as standard, maybe a bit more powerful so it doesn't look like they're going backwards performance wise.
Oh and optional 4wd I read somewhere

Nice photo there Batch.

Better stereo as standard in the GTI. My MKivs Gamma sounded better. Lesser models had the beta? The touch screen SHOULD be standard.

It took VW almost 25yrs to perfect the GTI and return the MK5 GTI to the "original".
I dont think they can top that just yet. I have a horrible feeling the MK6 GTI will not be that good and will be basically a car that borrows parts from other cars leaving itself with no real identity.

Probably will end up like like the new Civic type R "Not as good as the previous"

[R32UK]

I would:-

change the boot latch
improve the auto wipers
make the inside like the S3
no more optional extras (everthing as standard)
ship with spare tyres for both s/w

[k4ith]

interior dash of the mk4
number the beasts like the mk4 Anni
stereo upgrade as standard above gti / gt
bigger brakes than the gti
an options list that lets you modify i.e maps, big brake set ups etc..
Not really fussed what the mk6 looks like or goes like as more than happy with my ed30, well almost lol, you have to mod dont you

[duffy78]

maybe not an improvement but i've got a feeling the next gti is going to have a 1.6 twincharger engine in it to meet emmisions targets and get a better mpg.

200 bhp but rough as old arses

Bigger brakes. The Cupra has the R32/S3 front disks and the GTI rear disk set-up

I'd have thought the ED30's 240bhp would be what they'll start at. Probably with a smaller lump and heavily forced induction to reduce emissions, as Duffy said.

Reckon a 200bhp diesel will appear somewhere in the range to compete with BMW.
