Photos don't do it justice, the back end especially looks better in real life.

I haven't driven one yet but I'd have to agree that the back end does look much better in person than it does in photos. I saw one the other day and it looks very nice.

The only thing is, do the door handles look as big and chunky in person as they do in photos?

I quite like the wheels on my car, pain to clean and keep clean. I never really thought about the door handles until the comment earlier, they don't seem that bulky in real but I see the point in the photos.

Nah you really don't notice them IRL - they feel much nicer in hand too. I think they're the same as the Passat's handles.

Hey mate,

sorry if my post made it seem like I think the wheels are ugly-not the case, I just wanted to see what some photoshop people could come up with after comments about the MkVI only needing some aftermarket wheels. Your's is the first VI I've seen while stationary and I really like it. I think the handles look chunky in that shot because of the shadows cast by the handles.

I know what you mean about the wheels being a pain to clean-my car get huge amounts of brake dust less than a week after I clean it.

No offence taken at all it's a nice shot.

The rear door doesn't have a big carpark dint in it from some pricks door opening into it like it does now. I never thought I would be so precious about a car.

Cheers

Don't worry mate, I'm the same and I think most of the users on here would be too. Ever since I've had mine I've been increasingly protective of it hehe

I constantly worry about my car when its in carparks. I try and park furthest away on a nice safe end spot but sometimes even then you get tards park next to you. A guy yesterday was putting his kid in the car next to me, he nearly scratched my door with the button on his jeans. It was just luck that I had come back to the car in time.

It really ****s me when people don't care about other peoples property.

Cool, thanks.
Photos can be quite deceiving sometimes.

I went and had a squiz at the MK6 today (I couldn't help myself)

Its very nice, interior looks great definitely looks more luxurious than the MKV Comfortline/Pacific. The front is what surprised me the most its gorgeous! Much much nicer in person than photos. Looks mean but its still got that refined look about it. From the back its got a wider stance on the road than the MKV, and the bumper is nicer than the plain black with the MKV.

The handles are a bit deceiving, they look chunkier on different colours. The black/white they look fine but they stick out more on the blue/grey.

I'll stob yabbering and show you some pics. I tried to get some side by side shots to show the difference between MKV/6.

Excuse the finger.

The front looks really nice.

And you cant really see it in this photo very well but there was an RS4 (I think...) on the corner. It was awesome!
