The MkVI was a cost cutting move not a specification enhancing one!

They're exactly the same as the MkV AFAIK.

Cost cutting yet better

. Some things are better being simple like the top air vent - major source of rattles and creaks all that hard plastic on plastic.

On the other hand, the sun visors feel a lot cheaper. They still work just as well

I can't remember the old ones but thought they were much the same. Bound to be a few pros/cons to both but less rattles = better.

The old ones were a bit squishier to the touch. Agreed completely about the top air vent - it never really stopped despite numerous attempts to be fixed. And some changes make no real difference, like the fuel cover release.

Does the special of free on roads for the GTI only apply to cars in transit or in stock ? or can i order one with my desired specs and still receive the discount?
Also what will be the wait if one is built to my specification ?

My car is fitted with factory Xenon Headlights. My question is

Anyone here know what is the lumens for the new MK6 GTI, and also can it be change to a brighter xenon bulb if it's not bright enough

Why don't you think they wouldn't be bright enough?

Again, I've moved your thread here because it's about the specifications of the GTI. Or I could have possibly put it in one of the many threads about Xenons. Please try and post in the existing threads

It applies to cars purchased AND delivered by EOFY.
