VW Golf GTI MK VI

[The Bull]

Still want that Scirocco? I want one of these. Due to hit our shores in the summer. (That means in the normal summer months as summer doesn't really exist for us anymore)

I'm not keen on the wheels, but i do like that ;)

Hmm, tasty! Any pics of the 5 door though?

Thats cause they are off the mk5.
:cool:

I like those wheels, nightmare to maintain though as you can see how many are scratched!

Looks good:eek: Had those 18 inch "Monza" alloys on our old GTI MkV very nice but difficult to hide wee marks, bet the car is nice in black:thumbs up:

Hopefully there will not be a 5 door option. GTI's should only come with 3. Why do you need another 2 boring doors??

Monza's are easy to take care of. No multispokes and smooth and shiny.

I don't know what the fuss is about the scirocco...nice enough little coupe, but there is a reason the the golf GTI has been an icon for over 30 years....

Equally, there is a reason the mini is an icon, why would you buy a Clubman apart from to not see who was going to hit you from behind :D

5 doors mean people with families can enjoy the fun, it's been suggested my next must have 5 doors so a 3 door is no use to me, but I'd still want a car that can go like a GTi for when I'm on my own. Best of both worlds!

Also a very big fan of this, looks so good & would look even better with some BBS's. Possible new car for me...yeah 5 years after they have been on sale :thud:

Aint gonna be cheap I bet:frown:

Looks like this is going to be the new corporate look for all veedubs:eyes up:
Not much difference between the nose and bum of the golf and the scirocco if you put them next to each other. Scirocco looks lower tho:thumbs up: Still prefer the Scirocco over the Golf :Whistle:

Volkswagen have upped their game, I like what they are doing.....:thumbs up:

I suspect that the Scirocco is wider though - i think it uses some kit off a Passat not a Golf.

Here's a thing tho......why has the 2.0l turbo motor in the Scirocco only got 198bhp.....yet the same motor in the Seat has about 220bhp:confused:
If VW want the scirocco to compete with the likes of the Honda type R which is a non turbo with even more bhp I think they've kinda shot themselves in the foot:frown: Think it really needs to have a fair bit more than 200bhp IMO:computer:

The new R32 in the MKVI is rumoured to be a 270BHPish version of the 2l turbo and not a V6 anymore, so that's why it'll be pegged at 210BHP.

Seat will always have more power as they need that to differentiate between it and the GTi.
