^ I agree the surround red pinestripe looks better then dual parallel lines

and from a MK5 owner, yes they are heavy haha

^ hey will I heard running on your brake rotors will reduce weight by quite a bit :p try it

hehe

being the owner of a MKV...all I can say is:
VW made no little effort to make this different from MKV haha..imma get flamed but...
the interior has so little difference...the deck + steering wheel are all thats pretty much different...exterior just looks like a heavy facelift :/

and has anyone noticed...front = scirocco...rear = touareg?

not digging the front grille either...
vw gti has always been simplicity :( (i guess they gave that up with DSG but i digress) this seems a little too audi to me

wow wtf it looks like an uglier cheaper version of the Mk5??

i'll have to edit my post into Golf/jetta interior rather than VW's in general, i think the cab's and passats have a decent interior. But tt just seems very dated and have such a boring design compared to the exterior and rest of the car, especially the dash/trim design. . Im sure its quality craftsmanship but for me, the look of it is a downside to an otherwise great looking car.

ok i wasnt being that extreme. HAHA i knew someone was goin to post this here's perhaps a better example:

hell, even an american car has a nicer looking interior
2009 mustang:

im sure the build quality can possibly be better than some of those others, but can you honestly say the gti's interior doesnt look a bit dated compared to the other 4?

regardless, a tdi golf is still in consideration as one of my next cars to get.

Considering the MKV was such a vast improvment from the MKIV, you can't really expect that much more from the 6. The mkv had gotten great reviews evreywhere - why mess with something that works?

I would say the gti has the best interior out of the bunch.

:haha: have you seen the video of the creative designer of VW when he commented on why they used same platform/engine/transmisson for the mkvi? it was hella funny but not on youtube anymore but he pretty much says..

"we think its pretty good...why do we need a new one?"
i laughed my balls off...creative designer for such a big company makes such a comment lol

interior looks dated for sure

im a german car fan over japanese any day but i still disagree with you on this one haha.

ive been in all the cars you listed above, driven them and the VW blows all the other out of the water in every possible aspect

I'm still waiting for them to show up at dealers before i can decide whether to pull the trigger or not....:(

Of all those interior pics, I like the mazda 3 the most.
Whoda thunk..

except rwd in the genesis case, and long term maintenance cost in the civics case :D

I might be alone on my opinion but I like the MKV look a lot more.

yes

MK6 looks much better in person, it makes MK5 looks outdated

i got lucky and sold my mkv a month ago.:thumbsup:

i love this car. thank you http://www.funnyforumpics.com/forums...d-delivers.jpg

cars are sitting on the docks in atlantic canada... and will start to show up at dealerships in the coming weeks...

and it didn't "win world car of the year" just because... the interior of these cars are solid and really can't be matched by many other brands... the feel of all the finishings are very solid comared to the plasicky cheap feeling of say a honda...

TSI is a solid motor as well... fixed MOST of the problems with the FSI... and even better... the OEM fuel pump can handle a stage 3 setup!

Do you also think a Rolex looks dated compared to a Casio?

youre not alone ^^V

They should have more power. Stock.

Not the case, just exterior styling. You can make your mk5 golf front end look like a mk6 with rad support headlights rebar, fenders and hood.
