The New MKVI GTI v The MKI GTI

It looks droolworthy, I love the front light clusters, and although the perceived quality is improved, but it's using cheaper bits, and if you're an obsessive like me you'll be able to tell.

VW have messed up the MK5.5 MK6, like they did with the MK3 imho

Why do you have such a bee in your bonnet about it being a face lift? The mk5 chassis was/is years ahead in terms of quality and build, it doesnt need to be changed.
IMO it looks the most aggressive out of all the previous marks, its the interior Im not as keen on.

less of a bee... more of a gnat. just a bit disappointed with the styling, not a hater though, it's a cool car :happy2:

I like the front and side, but the Touran-esque rear lights look even more dated than the MK5! Good for us, I guess :)
I'm getting some of those skirts for mine, they're very nice!

What I'm disappointed about is that none of the Golf VIs get LED lights (front or rear) as standard. By now pretty much all automakers should be using LED-based light clusters but many still see it as a prettification option. LEDs are much more resiliant, longer-lasting, and above all safer.

Funny you say that...I had exactly the same thoughts... I suspect they will do the LED thing when they go for a minor facelift 3-4 years into the MK6 lifespan.
