Motor magazine - heaps of VW content

[Mr Messy]

Hi all.
This month's motor has some good VW stuff in it.

There's a comparison between the Golf IV and VI GTIs that shows how far the brand has come in 10 years, it is part of a feature on 2000-model cars vs their 2010 equivalents. WRX, Boxster and HSV also feature here.

The staff there also voted VW as the number best brand for the 2000-09 decade and DSG as the best new technology (though wrongly saying it debuted on the MkIV R32).

That should be a good read, do they compare the new wrx to the mk6 gti?

It is in the mk4 r32, just not in Aus I'm pretty sure..

Correct, DSG was available in UK R32 mk4s... as well as 5dr body!!!

Pity we are a small market!

Small, or just purist?

If we were a purist market everyone would be cool and driving around in mk1's

You mean everyone would be driving around in 48/215's... Just to put the Aussie slant on it!

Wow a factory MkIV R32 with DSG. I wonder how they go...

Yeah man. They needed a totally stock MK4 GTI.
Unfortunately, mine qualifies...
