Excuses to buy a MKVI
« on: 07 August 2008, 19:48 »
Okay, so I'm seeing a lot of threads saying "my car's this......"  & "it is out of warranty now so..."

I get the feeling that a few people on here are readying their excuses to chop their beloved MKV's for a MKVI! :wink:

Am I right?

What excuses valid reasons are you going to give to your other halves come exchange time?

and....will it actually be a MKVI?

Lol,

Just make sure you get the car before you get married or she'll use the excuse "The wedding cost sooooo much. Shall we NOT get the MKVI?" :shocked:

I'm hoping to test drive the Mk6 then if I like it, trade my MK5 in for it next summer when it comes out. Reasons would be, although I love my black Mk5, its hard to keep clean, gets darn hot in the summer making it hard to clean. I'd choose silver or red next time. Probably red. I would like more power, and 4wd plus good fuel ecomony would be a "No Brainer".

Better looking higher quality inside, quieter cruising, adaptive suspension, better sound system, etc etc.

Plus the "feel" and smell of having a new car, it Rocks!

Adding to that, the MK5 would lose value quick with a new model out.

Nah tbh i can be bothered with the hassle again, the mkvi will no doubt look good and maybe better but the ed30 has everything or will do soon that i want.
I used the old warranty one with my MK4 lol
Best plan is to start several months in advance break them into the idea gradually until the big day so tell them then its much easier.

I've found the best way so far is simply to order the car and then pick her up in it on the day it arrives :grin:
