Thinking of getting a mk6

Postby Guy88 » Sat Jun 10, 2006 10:01 pm

I am trying to work out what is the best one for me to have.

I will need one equivelant to a 120/150. would this be a 300/350

I have never been to keen on fwd vans. are they any good :?: i looked at 115ps RWD. what is the best diff ratio to go for :?: i am looking for economy. and a half secent top speed.

Also out of interest what is the 137ps TDCi like :?:

Think thats about it. time to start saving :D

these are quite lively and the front wheel drives do wheelspin easily in the wet - especially of course when loaded or towing - mk6's drive like cars and once you've driven one you won't go back

good luck

as andy says the 137 ps is the one but it will probly spend alot of time in the dealer ,there is big problems with 125ps and 135ps 2.4 engines!
in fact i have just been to my dealy and wile i was there we pushed 2 vans into the workshop! :shock: i have the 280- 125ps 2ltr fwd that goes plenty fast enouph :shock: not had it flat out yet but i think it will go over 100mph!
it also tows the caravan well witch is why i went for the 125ps,if you are thinking of nearly new then hurry down to your dealer they are dooing exelent offers at the moement! on pre reg! :wink:
