I'm driving myself insane trying to decide which mk6 to go for! The gti is a bit special and I'm trying to get that in the new car.
I want economy I'm trying to get close to her C1 which does real world 62mpg (true story) And I want dsg.
Performance would be a plus although not THAT necessary, willing to stage 1 to improve.
Insurance isn't an issue as me and the mrs even on a gti is only £380.
I was pretty set on a 1.6 match with blue motion tech but we do 8miles to work mainly motorway and back. Loads of people saying dpf issues? Stage 1 map will give it enough power I think. I have vcds so can always force regeneration so should I worry about that?
The 1.4tsi worrys me with all the issues people have been having at stage 1, plus with a heavy foot I think it would use loads of fuel vs performance when compared to the 1.6tdi.
2.0tdi 140 in gt trim....this has become my new favourite. Just disappointed rvc isn't standard like on the match.
Then there's the gti and gtd....I would love the gti obviously but economy goes out the window!
I want to spend 10-12k but can easily spend more just don't want to
Just looking for some owner experiences if there are any!
