Re: Mk 6 Golf GTI

Really don't like the look of the new car.... Just looks wrong from almost every angle.

They've even cocked up the MK6 front grill which looks much nicer in standard form.

No thanks!

Oh just ordered an S3.... Almost went with the Scirocco but I want the easy remap to 320bhp and Quattro power :)

Re: Who's from Essex

Loughton were really good with me and I was straight out on a test drive when I went in which is really strange! mind you they do recognise me when I take my Dads Touareg in for servicing and I have popped in there in my brothers R32 too lol also they wanted to make the deal there and then and I ha...

Re: DSG or not to DSG that is the question

I have over that last few months got more and more fed up with being stuck in a tail back on the M25 with a heavy clutch and having to go up and down the gearbox, also coming from the world of Vtec where you are use to being almost part of a manual gearbox, I knew my decision had to be really well ...

Re: DSG or not to DSG that is the question

I had a R32 for a day with DSG and my thoughts are : For 90% of driving the DSG is absolutely fantastic. Extremely smooth and very quick to react... very quick through the gears that gives you a huge advantage over more powerful cars.... HOWEVER.... it's NOT a manual no matter how you swing it. In S...

Re: Who's from Essex

Happy to take you for a spin some time :) Wow would love to mate :) Still waiting for VW Loughton to sort themselves out a demonstrator.... Honestly you'd think they would knuckle down in times like these and actually put a bit of graft to sell cars but no chance.... Tried test driving a R32 there ...

Re: VW Driver Magazine Performance Figures

I'm in exactly the same situation.... R32 + THE SOUND! Dear lord the SOUND! It's absolutely sickening when I hear one of those go by.... oh the jealousy. I want a car that sounds that good! + Performance! I found it to be very very quick. Coming from a Type R with 220bhp the R32 felt more composed a...

Re: Who's from Essex

I'm quite close, I live in Leyton :) Not got a Scirocco....yet. Current car is a 07 Type R and the lease runs out in May. Struggling to make my mind up. I think the Scirocco is a lovely looking car BUT it does need to be lowered and those GT wheels are f'ugly. The guy on here who has candy white wit...
