Volkswagen Golf VI 2.0 TSI GTI

I've been without a car for a couple of years now - living in central London means that you don't really need a car. I sold my old MK4 Golf GT TDi 130 a couple of years ago in anticipation of the new MK5 coming out and primised myself that I would not get a new one until the new GTi came out. When it was eventually announced toward the end of last year it received many rave reviews - I toyed with the idea of buying it then. Indeed some online brokers were offerring amazing discounts (nearly 11%) on the vehicle considering it was so new and well received. As it was I delayed ordering until ... more

This car is fantastic. we have had it for now for 3 years. The car has enough space for 5 people to sit comfortably or even with a child seat in the back, two passangers can still be comfy.

The front passenger has good space, movable chair to go higher or lower and can move quite far forward or back or can be reclined to a comfortable seating posistion, it's the same for the Driver's side.

Brought the car as an ex demo with few miles on the clock, although was reasonably expensive, I can justify it with the comfort and class that the car brings. Having a dark interior is much better as it wears better than a lighter shade, which my Audi had ... more

On first driving the Mk5 GTI you are hit by a number of observations. Firstly, it really IS a GTI. It's quick off the mark, turns in sharply and handles like a GTI should. Secondly, it's refined without being too much so....it keeps the racy edge whilst cocooning you in comfort and safety. The interior is functional - as you expect with VW - rather than luxurious with everything close to hand. However, it's the drive that would be owners are most interested in and it certainly doesn't disappoint. Fast acceleration, fantastic brakes and road holding to make most other road users green with envy ... more
