All Things Mk5 > Mk5 General Area

Valuation

<< < (5/5)

BeezerDiesel:
I can see where your 'insider' is coming from, and initially at least the mk5 will look very good value against a mk6 thus the values will stay high. But as we've seen with generations of Golfs in the past, once the new model has been out a couple of years and gets finally accepted by the very conservative Golf buyer then the previous generation just becomes another old VW and drops away in the desirability stakes.

I keep seeing mk6 Diesels lately and thinking from most angles they have taken the conservative thing too far, they remind me of the Toyota Diesel 2D2 boring thing hire car I had the other week.

i waiting for my test drive in the new mk6 GTi in may to make a firm judgement on whether its worth going up the Mk's to the new 6th incarnation.

Considering i raced a scirrocco ay rwyb day in february, and that ive ment to have more horsepower then the scirrocco's 197. Both cars were DSG  and i could only match in hundreths of a second the performance of the new 888 engine down the famous quarter mile.Which makes me think the new engine in the mk6 GTi, will be as spritely as an edition30. (standard on course).May be the aerodynamics of the scirrocco are better hense matching the run against my ed30. Who knows? :surprised:

andytran:
It may have been said before,

But I think that the Mk5 is much better looking than the Mk6 in GTi form.

as posted above, no doubt in a couple of years, the Mk6 will be favoured, but at the mo, Im loving the look of my black Mk5!
