The Official Golf Mk VI Picture Thread

oh my, my bad... I really thought for a moment it was a skoda!

The red one is a mk6 wagon with 19" vmr 701's. I normally think the back of the wagon looks ugly but i could live with that car above!

[rs73]

problem with a wagon is, if it's black then it's an instant "hearse" effect... other colours might be ok (e.g. Passat R36 wagon in blue still looks hot)

[Corey_R]

As far as I'm concerned, if you need 5 doors, you need a wagon

[rs73]

or a short wagon for 3dr owners... c'mon, they're not exactly THAT sporty.... there's lots of proper 2dr coupes out there for a change

[AdamD]

all of these are effing stunning, but i gotta say, im impressed- that golfwagen looks awesome!

+1. That is one damn good looking wagon. If I had to have one, 19" VMR 701s would be going straight on.

[rs73]

are those replica wheels being sold over ebay - are they any good? e.g. replica RS4, replica R32 etc?

[peedman]

Its prob best to inspect them before you buy as the quality can vary and the detail could be lacking. As for functionality as a wheel, they should have no problems.

Dont forget companies like VMR, Avant Guarde and Miro make essentially replicas of other wheels and they are popular in the US.

I might be wrong, but I am confident I'm not, but the 3 door version's doors are the same length as the 5 door's front doors.

[Corey_R]

Nope, the 3 door Golf's doors are quite a bit longer than the 5 door front doors.
This is one of my main complaints about the 5 door Golf, is that the B Pillar is too far forward and obscures my peripheral vision, making me feel closed-in. I've driven 3 door hatches, and 2 door coupes (with and without a B-pillar), plus 4 door large sedans or wagons, so for me to get into a 5 door Golf feels quite strange due to the B Pillar being right beside my head. The 3 door Golf's are just so much more "open".

The other thing is that the door trim (arm rest etc) on the inside of the doors in the 5 door is so much shorter and seems to finish way too early... or at least it does in comparison to the 3 door.

Many people don't seem to have any clue what I'm talking about when I mention these points this though, so maybe they're just used to it...
