MK VI Golf in Adelaide

[Steve]

Saw a black Mark VI heading up Glen Osmond Road this morning... funnily enough I didn't see any at the Solitaire service joint.

Looked at a couple Mk6 on Monday at Solataire, not that impressed.

I'm probably biased as I'm new to my Mk5, but the exterior changes to the Mk6 are not that nice. I did like the look of the interior .

From side on it almost looks like a '90s Dahatsu Charade (esp the tail lights)

Doesn't look as nice or as distinctive as the MK5 in my view.

I think it's shiny on Mk5 R32 - looks great when its clean.

Does not


Saw a white one at Medindie looks good

Does not

Ok maybe that was a bit harsh But look at it in profile - esp the rear bit. It really does remind me of another, less distinguished hatck (can't think of which one, but maybe a Suzuki? ). Not as good as the MK5...

Maybe it's better in the flesh. Maybe it will grow on me.

I saw a black one up near my place today - are there any other than the demo cars on the road? I thought it looked fairly nice!

Thats a better assessment I have mistaken one or two Suzukis as VWs

I thought the exact same thing about the VI until i went to a dealership and compared the two cars parked next to each other.

The Mk 6 looks a hell of a lot better than the Mk 5.

I've not seen a 6 in the flesh yet so I can't really say. And even the 5 base models look a little plain compared with say a GTI
