Interesting it made the same as the 8P as standard...

Is your GTI a standard K03 GTI or Ed.30/Pirelli K04... both do well with maps especially the latter on the door of 300bhp with Stage 1.

Question is, why are you looking to replace so early on in ownership?

Think you misread my post buddy. I'm not, I prefer not to finance so I'm looking at my next car now and starting saving.

It's a KO3 GTI

If you're saving I'd just try put away a little more and get a Mk6 Ed35. I assume its going to take you a fair few months to get the pennies together and hopefully by then the Ed35 will have come down in price.

Gti driver + kids = vRS estate ?

Works for me  :smiley:

vRS is basically a Golf.

Or can say non-Golf, be Bavarian, and say a 330d?
230hp, space, RWD and 40mpg  :evilgrin:

Id go for mk6 mate better engine although ed30 is more for the tuner as would get more power from the bigger turbo and although r32 are more powerfull and 4d surprisingly sluggish and not much better than a standard gti due to the weight ?

The GTD engine is excellent, it's very smooth and doesn't drive like the old mk4/5 TDI's. Throttle response is amazing for a diesel and the extra 200+ miles per tank is a great bonus. A map will nudge it over the 200bhp mark but the figures don't do it justice. A mapped 170 TDI will be quicker in all circumstances than a Stock mk6 GTI  :laugh:

The XDS system mimics a real limited slip diff and (when turned to max in VCDS) is really effective at reducing under steer.

The mk6 cabin is of a noticeably higher quality than the MK5's too  :happy2:

I've also had to start thinking about next car - due to the fact my mrs is now pregnant with our 3rd child & just got a Lab puppy - so Jetta isnt going to cut it for much longer!

I'm going for a MK6 GTD - ticks all the boxes, and after a map and some suble mods will be perfect for me.




MK6 Golf roomier than a Jetta?  :confused:

Yeah, I'd really worry about the Mk6 GTI engine... you've got to ask yourself why VW used the TFSI in the Golf R and Audi in the NEW S3...

Golf R?

Strongest engine, 4WD, DSG, Launch control and 270 bhp standard. Looks and drives better than an S3 too. :wink:
