dilettantdilletant@mastodon.socialOct 11, 2026, 2:17 AM@xan The mk5 is very cool. I had a mk6 but always wanted a mk5. The mk6 has only very small improvements over the mk5, basically cosmetic, the engine is almost the same. But the mk5 is a HUGE upgrade to the mk4, almost everything is a new technology, the suspension is truly next-gen. Everyone raves about the mk4 r32, but to me the mk5 r32 is the real star of the show and the one to have, just because of how much it advanced over its predecessor.

@dilletant At first I was about to be like "naw they dropped the VR6 for the MkVI" but then I realised you're talking about the base and GTI Golves :P I agree. The MkV is fucking fantastic, looks and otherwise. Sometimes I lament the lack of a manual option in the US, but hey, I really do like the DSG :) As a platform, PQ35 really was just way better than the A4 in every way, nerdy and otherwise.

@dilletant I had a MkVI Golf TDI and a MkVI GTI and I miss those cars a great deal. Especially that TDI. Man, that was a smooth ride.
