I got a MK6 DSG I love it, has the modern technology without break the bank. His stock suspension is so well balanced compare to many Japanese cars.

I have mk6 gti with K04 hybrid turbo upgrade, downpipe and intake. That car is really one little rocket. It handles 350+ HP without any issues, also fuel consumption is very good and regular maintanance is not so expensive.
However it has some predictable reliability problems which could be fixed. For e.g. timing chain tensioner (update it from stock and there is no problems at all), intake manifold (flaps rod could fail and you need new manifold which could be expensive if you are trying to put OEM, but there is OEM suppliers which aren't that expensive, so that isnt big deal), some engines could experience balance shaft failure because of screens on oil passages (newer revision of balance shaft has bigger oil passage hole and it is less prone to failure. Balance shafts is not that expensive, but work on them is very difficult), injectors could stuck opened (you need to immediately turn of engine and best solution is to replace injectors with set of 4 new, also it is not so expensive, but if you drive with open injector, engine could be damaged).
Every used car has some potential problems, so Mk6 GTI has also, but tuning potential is awesome and performance is very good especially when it is tuned. Also braking and handling is good with decent amount of ride comfort. I am using that car as daily for several years, overall I am very happy with them. With good maintanance it would last long.

Mk.6 has beautiful proportions. The side profile especially is jaw-dropping for me, mainly because of how low the hood line is in relation to how high the roof line goes. Not to mention how the A pillars swoop up (from the hood to the roof). I want to give credit to all angles of the mk.6, as I appreciate the more curves to its body, compared to its older angular brothers, the mk.7 and mk.8 golf's. It's as timeless to me as the G35 Coupe is timeless for its perfect body proportions. I do have the mk.7.5 GTI, and I did own a G35 coupe before it, and honestly I do/would appreciate to be given the opportunity to be able to wake up, walk out the door and admire these cars and their spirit.

By far my favourite golf generation. Mk6 all day.

The only people who didnt know the R32 was 4motion musta been the same ones who didnt like the MKVs looks lol. Original owner here still enjoying MKV as much as I did the day I drove her off the lot late September 2006.

I love everything about my manual 2dr 2013 GTI. Just past 100k miles and it's still running strong. You can't get a better car for the money.

Still Loving my Mk6 GTI like day one after 9 years of ownership. Also it’s Aging very well that people think is newer that what really is 😁

I'm loving my mk6 GTI so far. The EA888 is such an easy to tune engine! I'm only on stage 1 and it feels like a different car already. I have a video on it too. The mk6 is more reliable than what people say as well. Just keep an eye out for the tensioner or get a 2013+ and you should be safe. The biggest complaint I have with the car is the lack of top end power. Coming off an 8th si, the way this car makes power is the opposite. I was used to revving out to 8300 in the SI but the GTI start to fall flat on it's face about 6000 rpm (right where the SI would begin to make its power) however, the GTI feels more powerful and being that It's tuned way faster. Not to mention the handling is very comparable to my 8th gen SI. The mk6 truly is an amazing do it all car when you also add its a hatchback. The shift feel is also really nice I should add

hey mark, not sure if this would be very popular but a deep dive on the fiat 500 would be sick. I'm a big fan of weird little cars like that lol, and I think the 500 abarth rly goes unnoticed by most.

[itzJKB]

think you got confused between the MK5 and the MK3 !!! The MK5 is the GTi that saved the GTi name. The Mk3 was a complete failure of a Gti

[bettersteps]

Best MK6 GTI video ever. I love it! Great job. I drive an MK6 2dr manual GTI (purchased new) and love every single reliable mile of driving. Currently with 113k miles and has cost me less than $500 in unexpected maintenance costs. IT IS RELIABLE. But, you need to maintain a GTI. If you don't regularly maintain a GTI it will fall apart. Otherwise, bulletproof.

I love my mk6 so I was super excited to see your video on em! Even though it isn't a bullet, I can find TONS of info on them and the community is super passionate about them. Overall it's been a great daily driver, and I enjoy the drive to and from campus. The cherry on top is that I can make it fast if I want to spend the time and money due to the absolutely insane after market and availability. But it's just a daily for now. The most I would do is a stage 1 tune as long as it's my only car.

The motor is different. That was the huge change. MK5 FSI engines were faulty, MK6 switched to the TSI

[JustinStrife]

As others have mentioned, the mk6 GTI got a completely new engine the EA888 chain driven 2.0 turbo, vs the mk5's EA113 FSI belt-driven. The mk6R got a stronger version of the mk5's FSI engine with a k04 turbo.

I own an APR k04 mk6 GTI autobahn Edition with DSG, and an mk6 Golf R and they are the best looking of the modern golfs in my opinion. They still have smooth curves that newer ones dont have anymore, with a simple yet well built interior.

I purchased my Mk6 right when it was first hitting dealerships in 2009 and I’ve since put 163k miles on it. It’s been a great car.

[masterzen]

Love the mk6, been driving one for a little over a year and wouldnt trade it for any other hot hatch out there

[itsonlyniles]

Purchased one in 2011. Still absolutely adoring it with 125k on it.

[porksoda]

i deliver pizza in my mk6 and i love that thing. still stock and still has as much power as the v6s i've owned in the past
