GTI Mk6 specs!

[Plopeye]

To those who have a copy and will be placing an order - have you decided what kind of spec you are going for?

I am new to the whole GTi experience but have read nothing but good things from these cars. I use to have an EK9 honda civic type r so am familiar with "hot hatches"

Anyway the other day i took a mkv for a test drive and was nothing but impressed. This car covers all bases for me, it is quick, comfortable, sounds good, roomy, classy and a nice interior. I do alot of driving so comfort is a big thing but alo performance is handy as well. Being new to DSG I was a little apprehensive and thought the fun of driving would be diminished by this system compared to a manual transmission... boy was i wrong.

So i think during the week I will head back to the local adelaide VW dealership and put down a deposit on a mkvi gti (i do like the look of the 6 more than the 5).

For me I will opt for the following:

• Black
• 18 inch detroit wheels
• electronic seat control
• DSG
• Upgraded stereo with ipod support
• Possibly a bike rack or sunroof
• Cant remember if leather was standard or not, but i would opt for the leather.

Just watch out for the result of specifying all those (expensive) options, you may end up spending more than you thought

you are right because my eyes are probably bigger than my wallet. But i used the mkv spec sheet the dealer gave me as a comparison. Obviously I am only using it as a rough idea. Just have to see what the rrp is for the mk6. The Sales manager is expecting 1k to 2k more than the 5 when it was released. Ill go back during the week to see if any more info is available.
