What I think is really interesting for us guys who stay with our Mk5's, is that our cars are suddenly no longer the latest state-of-the-art but are now fast becoming a revered classic in the GTI heritage.
I find the Golf R far more exciting than the Mk6 GTI but love my modified Mk5 so much that a swop is pointless (so I'm going to keep telling myself). I called in socially on my VW dealer this morning and the top guy came over and asked me what I thought about the Golf R - He said he'd call me in for a test drive as soon as they had one next year. Help!
