I love mine, but I would buy a mk6 R when they drop a bit more in price. I think they look great and I'd be interested to see how differently it drives.

Im planning to buy a mk1, mk2, mk3, mk4 and mk6 and keep the lot to create a mini golf family. Not sure whether my wife shares the same level of enthusiasm...

I'm keeping it forever...whether it needs a new motor, tranny, or anything else. I just ordered a new K04+ tune programmer from DM tuning. DM will customize the tune for even more power when I replace the connecting rods for any reason. So whether or not it needs new rods...the mkv is getting them regardless ;p

Νo plans for a new car.

Needless.

This car is still capable to create a stupid smile on my face every time I drive it.



Just like my Mk2........... :innocent:

I was toying with the idea of getting rid of mine recently (as I hardly drive it these days) so I bought a scooby wrx :confused: :confused: with the idea of selling the golf, but luckily I didn't. I'm now going to fit a K04 turbo and the LSD I have in the garage and she is going to be a keeper  :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
