Mkvi Tsi

I actually think first impressions are the real ones you feel about most things. When I had a wrx 99 and the bug eye came out I said to myself thats one ugly car. Whatever spoilers pink badges scoops or blinkers they put on I thought it was one ugly car. Going forward I bought the mk 5 gti because it really appealed to me - I really think the exterior/interior is fantastic. Having a look at the next gen it's not grabbing me. Maybe because it hasnt changed much apart from getting sharper. I think the backs not an improvement and a bit ugly. The front is nice but I dont really fancy the gti grille and I think the grille on the current one is a better layout. I also dont think the current one will date as much as the gen 4 as its not a huge difference in looks. Maybe in real life the mk6 is better than what the pictures show me. But to upgrade for me would be a waste of money just for a new front end - unless it was a totally new shape with a crazy look. Ppl who also are worried about depreciation. Not sure why. No car is an asset. You buy it to enjoy it then eventually you get another one - provided you can afford to. I'd hate to think what ppl who spend 150-200K+ on cars think about depreciation!

The base engines are all 1.4TSI Twin Charged.

There is no turbo only 1.4.

I haven't recieved any detail's on the new GTI engine just yet.

All the diesel's will be common rail

For the record

TSI no longer stand's for Twin Charged either & all the capacity badges will all be removed.

A VW study revealed new owner's & buyer's don't want to see 1.4 on any of there car's & makes them look weak! True story!

TSI is now just a trademark. It has no meaning, just a badge

The badging will just be plain, have 1,2 or 3 red letter's. Basically, the more red, the more power.

Tell that to the clubsport that tried to cut me off at the lights on an overpass and found that the golf owner had golf balls! I was already in manual shift and just planted that **** as soon as lights went.... I held it pegged and pulled across and he was still a length behind...

and thats when it hit him....... my badge... 1.4 TSI

If only they knew that my I am an oldschool racer from pre-hoon law days.

I actually really like the majority of the styling, esp the front. The rear lights do look a bit large to me but overall I think it is a much much better looking car than the Mk5, I think I know what ill be trading the Jazz on

I had it confirmed with VW Aus today that the Golf VI will make its Australian debut at the Melbourne motor show.

The rear is the only part I don't like. The front is nice, especially on the GTI models. Stance is good, lines are excellent, rear looks stretched vertically and sucks ass IMO
