autocar.co.uk drives Golf VI
September 10th, 2008 Posted in Volkswagen
In Iceland for the official Golf VI launch autocar.co.uk has filed a brief review of a 2.0 TDI Golf VI, with DSG transmission. Here’s a few snippets:
- “It’s quiet - exceptionally quiet, in fact. VW engineers have been through the old Mk5 Golf design aiming to make a major leap forward in refinement. There’s no doubt that they’ve succeeded.”
- “VW has thrown the works at it, in its goal to make the VW Golf as refined as a car from the class above.”
- “The Mk6 – in non GTI form at least – becomes the most refined and upmarket feeling car in this sector.”

Hopefully the GTI will improve the lifeless feeling. Not sold on the styling either; saw a United Grey MkV GTI in traffic this morning, my god it’s a beautiful car. The MkVI on the other hand looks alternately ok (in official pics) or horrible (in real world shots). Put it this way, I’ll be looking very closely at the new Mazda 3 when it is unveiled in November…
