    potential golf gti owner...from Perth WA

    Hello everyone,

    I am a potential golf gti owner... still deciding on to get the Mk5 or wait for the new Mk6 GTi. I am still on the wall about the new old styling.. maybe if I see more around it might grow on me.

    Cheers

    welcome aboard shino, hope you enjoy your stay.

    Go for a Mk5 and with the money you save, you can APR tweak it

        dont take my view though i'm not experienced with either.

        from reading, I gather the Mk6 will be an excellent car, but I would expect pricing of Mk5s to be very enticing around now.

        i suggested the APR route because I'm always keen on tweaking, which might not be your driver

          I have test driven a Mk5 and it was pretty good. So until I drive the Mk6, I can't really decide yet.

          The mk6 has better fuel economy, more powerful engine, etc but the styling is of some acquired taste.

          But if I get the mk6 and APR it... will be looking at a very quick hot hatch and the new XDL diff present in the new one will make a whole lot of use of the power better.

          ummmmm... I will have to ponder a bit longer lol.
