Hi

Hello all!

Been a long time reader, but finally decided to sign up today. I've got my eye on either a MKVI GTI or a MKVI R, so I would love to hear both sides of the story from this forum!

Hey m_f,

You would already probably have read it but there's this thread with a very detailed review of both cars.. I think it's called gti v r or something along those lines.. Personally though, I went for a test drive and absolutely loved both cars. Up until 7 hours before i purchased mine I still couldn't decide.. I decided with the MkVI GTI in the end due to the prices... The R's a beaut but just tooo expensive for me.. I was looking at high 58ks without options... Good luck with your new purchase

Agree with the above.
Read the thread and then test drive both cars in spec as close to what you want as possible.

Having said that, i believe the GTI is more than enough for day to day use, the R would only surpass it in track days.
