Just got our 1st mk6 golf

[Russ_16v]

its in the workshop now,anyone wanting any particular pics of any part?

 

[Ben.]

oooh cool...any pics would be good

 

[Russ_16v]

iv grabbed a few, il put them up later once im home from work, just had a good look over, a few changes,obviously the front and rear have changed, interior feels basically the same, the doors are solid now though like the mk4s (the mk5 you could take off the outer door skin) and the new dash pod is pretty funky, apart from that the same as a mk 5, id def say more of a facelift in looks than a mew mk

 

[Gally]

no more bolt off door skins?
f**k me

 

[Scutch]

Yes please. The bolting used in the boot well. Near side, if possible.

[Russ_16v]

[Russ_16v]

f**k me

yeah apparently they cost too much to manufacture

 

[Turkish]

f**king retarded idea anyway, Cayennes are the same, makes a simple job like a window reg change a right ballache. Thank god they've seen sense and changed it.

 

[Russ_16v]

so true chap, i love these new common rail derv engines, i didnt realise it was a diesel to begin with

[drhowser]

[Russ_16v]

[Slammed172]

[Fletcher]

Pics??

 

[Craig]

wheres the pics man?

 

[Russ_16v]

sorry chaps, i had my aerial go AWOL at home all fixed just uploading pics now

 

[Russ_16v]

here we go sorry about the quality:

 

[.GAZ.]

its like a squashed toureg!!!

 

[Russ_16v]

yup! lol

 

[Turkish]

Not a fan, mk5 looks way better. Proportions look odd, are there any three doors about yet? be interesting to see it they look any better.

 

[SC03OTT]

interior = good
exterior = w**k

 

[.GAZ.]

interior = good
exterior = w**k

agreed

 

[SC03OTT]

its like the first 1/3 is a scirocco, second 1/3 is a mk5 golf, and the last 1/3 is a tourareg...

 

[Russ_16v]

yeah its a bit weird to look at,good from some angles,weird from others


love the interior though

 

[TomS]

I wasn't sure about the MK5 when I first saw it.... now love it. It's hard to judge a car by the base model, so I'll reserve judgement until I see the GTI..... but it doesn't look too good at the moment! lol

 

[Russ_16v]

iv seen pics of the GTI, looks sweet

 

[Soph]

FUGLY

 

[Craig]

that one looks shite imo

 

[R20 CWH]

guff colour and alloy combo.

not a fan. looks pretty boring.

 

[HBB]

That front is pedestrian saftey gone mad. How much 'squashy' s**t do you need to protect the wanker that walked/ran in front of you without looking!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Manufacturers have slowly been getting so boring! There just using the same designs for multiple cars now, and imho make most new cars so boring because they all look similar! I mean just look at the new shape clio, corsa and fiesta, they all pretty much look the same!

 

[len_beach]

What model is that?

I'm waiting for the GT TDI to come onto the list at work before I order one. Is that due shortly?

 

[gaz44]

How dull!

 

[Ian_182]

It will of course be a massive hit.

Im sure it will grow on me

 

[DazG]

I'll be waiting until the GTI comes out I reckon!

 

[Russ_16v]

no GT as yet, our one is a fairly basic spec TDI, the GTI is set sometime in April

 

[Christopher]

Not the best model to judge on IMO.

I think a few of you will change your mind once you see a well-specced one. I hope. lol

 

[B5 BDJ]

not a fan tbh.

hopefully the GTi will improve it.
