Scirocco does look very smart but doesn't share the same character or sense of occasion as the GTI. Where did your short lived Mk5 GTI end up then?
I had the MK5 off a friend, which had been subject to a bit of damage. I say a bit of damage, it had hammer marks on both sides!
I was going to get the repairs done on it, it was a mechanically sound car with only 75k on the clock. When I test drove the MK6 I just had them quote me for a part ex on it and seemed a good offer, so took it!
To be honest, I really miss some aspects of the MK5. Sometimes I feel the interior on the MK6 is a bit too modern. Fussy I am!
