Mine has a tape deck Also meant to have a 6disc in dash but someone pinched it

The MK6 has better interior apparently. Mk5 didn't do as well as MK4 due to the interior quality being substandard.

If someone told me they owned a Golf (VR6, Mk2 GTi & Mk1 GTi excluded) I'd drop my kecks and take a dump while they were in mid sentence as inevitably that would be far more involving then having to listen to them dribble on about superior build quality when in fact the car drives like a bucket of water and has a tape deck.

That doesn't look too bad to me, hopefully the GTi will have a better bumper etc though.
When I saw the thread title I thought "where did they see a mk6 Astra? "

They're living purely on the name they've built up tbh
That cars just boring, nothing good about it, nothing really bad about it,
But why are they stil fitting tape decks?

Look at the state of that, what is the rear window all about? It's not even good looking FFS.

If it goes around the ring in 5 minutes, will that then make it a good car Oliver?

Whats wrong with the rear window?
I had a look around it and it looks really good. Don't think it will be an all out drivers car (buy a leon for that), but it will be a really comfy car. Dash looks good too

5 minute ring lap time, better built than a Vauxhall, cheaper, with CD player.
Then will it be better?

Average build quality (like Vauxhall) ridiculous price tag, whats the betting that base model has a 16k price tag with it's tape player?

I dont get why people get all hung up about golf's going well on track, VW have moved the golf on to a more mass market approach with it being aimed at company cars/commuters. If you want a VAG car that laps the ring quickly you buy a Leon (Cupra R/FR) or S3
