Now why'd you have to go and bring that up...
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?

I've had mine 3 years now, bought it in March 2008 when it was a 18 months old and 24,000 miles. She has only done 52k now and has never driven better.

I normally keep cars 3 years and want a change, I do have itchy feet but, as I can't actually work out what I'd like (good ed30 tops the list) I reckon I'm probably sticking with her for 2 more years.

Mk5 does everything well for me, it's not that expensive compared to a porker. I am thinking at the minute that I keep for 2 years stash cash away then find my oft dreamed of c4s 911.

In the interim she'll get new tyres, a couple of services and mots, I'll maybe eventually howk off those awful milltek quads and get a new valance. I've also got to replace a couple of corroded parking sensors which I'll do at next service or myself before. I'll maybe even treat her to a good detailing.

So on balance I'm going nowhere for two years and lining myself up for a car I've wanted since I farrah fawcett majors was hot.

Like the member above I bought mine new in March 08 and its time for a new one.I'm hanging on until next march due to the Tahoe adventure costing a bomb.Problem is I'm not totally sold on the MK6.I need to get in one,poke around a bit to whet my appetite.Until then I,m toying on moving to the 4 rings.

Does the mk6 have a k04 turbo? That would be a major factor for me.

        Standard   Revo
bhp         207            275
Torque    207            314

Thats REVO stage 1... pretty tuneable having a supercharger and turbocharger
