Hi Guys,
New to the European scene. Just an opinion on, 20k budget, either mk6 GTI or Mk6 R? Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

I don't think you will find a Mk6 R for $20k and if you do it will have a ton of km's on it. If $20k is your budget, then you should be able to find a nice example of a MK6 GTI with around 80,000km on it. If you can, try to find a MY12 model or newer (although this may be hard on a $20k budget) as these had the updated timing chain tensioner and chain which is a bit of a problem in the earlier models.
Having owned both a Mk6 GTi and Mk6 R, id say the GTI is more fun to drive on a day to day basis and throw around corners when you want to have some fun. The Mk6 R feels heavy in comparison and although it has better traction, it understeers more and the general driving experience is dulled a little due to the extra weight.Last edited by Lucas_R; 29-08-2017, 02:01 PM.Comment
