What do we think of the Mk6 then??

[Red 2]

As a forner MK V GT 170 owner and with a 'Match' still owned by my wife, I really hoped that VW would ape the GT/GTi front but no and at first glance IMPO it is in general too similar to the Mk V for a car that has to last 5 years(?) in the showroom.

Interior looks like a much needed improvement but with key internal dimensions so similar yo the MKV and the external styling so similar as well, it looks more like the MkV's cancelled mid life update rather than an all new car.

Wonder what the forthcoming all new A3 will be based on?

Think the mkk6 is a fitting evolution from the mk5; the exterior has been touched up and the interior tarted up with more toys. So all in all a good car, I’m not sure I’ll be having one cuz I already splashed out on the mk5 and IT STILL OWES ME BIG TIME!!

Bought What car this week and they have pics and an article.

There calling it more like a Mk5.5 and I think there about right.

And no R32 what are they thinking of the exhaust note on one of them is fantastic especially when you change the exhaust.

Theres no need for speculative articles in the mags any more - if you want a proper look at the "Mk6" Golf and all the launch options then just go to VW's german website - they're available to order now, with the 3 trim options and a few engines (which will obviously expand over the next year. No info about a GTI in the new shape on that website yet.

Looks similar to the Mk5, which is good, as I have one.

Short Mk5 lifespan? It's 5 years, the same as the Mk4.

Is it? I have a 98 Mk4 GTI Turbo and my parents a 97 Mk4. I didn't think the Mk5 came in until 04?

For the record, I love the Mk6 GTi and if I hadn't just bought an A4 Cab I would be going for it. Kinda makes the Scriocco redundant imho.

The Scirocco carries it's weight lower how does the Golf GTi make the Scirocco redundant.
It's going to handle better, not sure about the internal spec is the Scirocco going to be a little more plush?
