    Buying MK6 GTI

    Hi guys

    Picking up a MK6 GTI wondering yours thoughts?? Do they have any common issues? Should i get an R instead? I like the shape of the MK6. Feedback is appreciated!

    Get a GTi 2012 or later as they have a few issues that have been revised, such as the timing chain tensioner.
    Manifolds are common to go (mine actually just went 2 days ago and now replacing it). I've also had my coil packs go and leave me stranded, although this is an easy fix - simply get audi R8 ones.. haven't have an issue with them to date.

    Ew, R. I have always argued that the GTi interior is a ton better that the R, but personal preference I guess. Good luck
