    Its sublte little differences, wouldnt call the mk6 a revolution, more an evolution of the mk5..almost like a mk5.5. I found the power delivery to be smoother than the mk5, and keener (lower in the rev range) which was nice. The car hugs the corners better and with noticeable less understeer than the mk5. The exhaust note is great.

    The interior styling for me and the feel inside the car was the 'huge' difference over the mk5.

    I liked how when you changed the climate control settings the changes also appeared on the stereo's screen.

    THe MFD also shows what gear you are currently in and when to change up for max economy.

    They looked rubbish on the Mk5 too, haha, so the sharper edges of the Mk6 were only going to highlight how crap the wheels are.

    Awesome that people are getting test drives already!

    If any Canberrans want a closer look at the GTI check out their holding yard just down from the dealership at the corner of Parramatta St and Athllon Drive.

    Only one car in Adelaide with 18" wheels - hopefully mine. Dealer said it would be about $800 per corner to swap factory 18" wheels for fitted 17" wheels
