Really nice replacement there.

Been looking at these over the last few months and seem to hold money very well.  :happy2:

They certainly seem to and I have to say the build quality seems better than the mk5 too, no rattles and solid 'sounds like a golf' door closing etc. plus, and it may just be the adaptive suspension, the steering is so tight and accurate with less body roll than my old GTI - very impressed!

Was from an Indy dealer - I wanted XENONS and they are super rare, all the other stuff became a bonus, glad I took the plunge. If you like leather there is a similar one on eBay/autotrader or if not bothered there are lots around and some have high spec

Lovely car!

I replaced my mk5 gti with a GTD DSG few months ago.

Mine has DPF delete and remap so goes really well now :-)

3 door and Leather is a must for me... Then xenons anything else would be a bonus.  :wink:

Well they put leather as standard near the end of the mk6 run so that will make your life easier :)

Rear led are on the list but like you say a tad pricey.  :scared:
