Was at my local dealer today getting some bits and the salesman I know there asked if I fancied a peek at the new MkVI that they had in the valet bay ready for the showroom.. Thought my as well have a quick butchers :wink:
Now ignoring the fact that it is a 2.0TDI and still has the transport blocks in as it's sitting silly high, I didn't think it'd looked to bad..

The interior is fantastic IMO and is a real step up from the MkV. Really looking forward to seeing the new GTI in March. Also has a few new features, including parking camera in the rear VW badge, all colour coded bumpers, and rear washer jet is in the spoiler brake light :smiley:. Along with a few other bits..
Anyway, thought i'd share the pics to see what you boys think? (Camera phone though i'm afraid )

doesnt look too bad, wish they had done a bit more to it though, think i will be waiting for a k04 vesrion of the GTi :happy2: , perhaps the edition 35

Totally agree.. Would never buy the first GTI, as you'd only be livid 12 months down the road when they bring out a K04 version.. :sad:

I really do like it! The interior is a massive improvement over the MKV diesel and the looks will grow on me like the MKV's did. When the 'hot' GTI comes out whether it be GTI-R or whatever they are gonna call it I think I will definately be having one :happy2:

oooh noooo they got rid of the trademark blue interior lights?
they look to much like audi now.
is this official then? nomore blue dash lights? :sad:
-
Good Pics Ben, :happy2:
I like it, for a 5 door Diesel it still looks sporty,
-
Honestly guys I can't stress how nice the interior was.. :drool:. Just the dails, instruments and stereo.. Really was nice.. Pic doesn't do it justice..
-
From the previous pics of the mk6 that I've seen, the dash certainly looks smarter.
Also looks remarkably similar to the 'rocco.
Still love the rear lights though.

I guess they had to get the interior quality right this time, apart from a few niggles like the steering rack the Mk5 has been spot on, only the Peskarus rattles and interior quality stop it from being perfect. and touch wood i have not got a single rattle yet apart from the wallet. :happy2:
-
I'm not sure if there is an option to have the cluster in a choice of colours - if not it's a real shame to see the blue and red bow out :sad:
Annoyingly I was hoping the MKVI wasn't going to grow on me... it is which means I bound to fork out for one when the GTi revision 2 appears... in a coupld of years or so...
I'm keeping my MKV though we are a couple!! :signLOL: :driver:
-
Liking the 'uber' black interior. Much prefer that to the grey of the MKV. Not too keen on the numbers on the dials all being horizontal though compared to going around the dial.
Were the stereo controls (or whatever is on the steering wheel) standard fit do you know?
Exterior wise... meh... but I'm more than likely to be won over seeing it in real life.
-
One thing I hadn't noticed before was the speedo. Notice how it now goes up in 10mph increments, then after 80mph goes up in 20's... :confused: Not sure if I like that so much. But remember guys that on the MkV the GTI/R32 speedo is different to the other models, so maybe the same on the MkVI
-
im still not a big fan if im honest :( i will wait and see what the GTI looks like

it looks pretty similar to the scirroco
-
Have to say I really like it think a test drive in the new year is in order :)

hmm....i hope it grows on my, i think for now, rather than saying i dont like it, i think its just different. Im sure in a year whe the GTi is out, ill be at the dealers getting one! i love the interior.
I really really like the way VW are going with the interior at the moment. such a massive step up from the mk5. they look so lush. i love the passat cc interior!
-
imo its just a mk v with a rocco front end and new rear lights but i like it , interior is more audi which is a good thing :smiley:
-

i wish the scirocco is pure eos/mkv the r20t concept has nicked a few mk6 bits, i like the interior and think the car will give a3 food for thought, especially in gti form, i find the gti speedo cluttered and hard to read but love the blue however
mk v was hated at first, vw have the nack of making growers
-
My local VW dealers say they will have a MKVI in after Xmas. They will be at new uber premises which has Audi and VW on one site, so should be good for an afternoons viewing.
Good spy shots BTW Ben :happy2:
-
The dash is a step up but also very familiar in a VW kinda way. There are a few MK5 'bits' carried over though. :santa:
