A1 VR6

My New Daily

Recommended Posts

Took my sensible head off after 6 years of diesel daily drivers and bought this. I know i'll regret it running cost wise but I had to have one as it's probably the last Golf that will be made with a big creamy 6 pot.

 

One of the advantages of getting older - insurance is only £252 fully comp protected :D

 

Great to drive with an exhaust note to die for but i wouldn't say it's much quicker than my Corrado if at all.

 

Anyone else got one/driven one what do you think of them?

They're OK with a turbo on them :)

 

I wish :D

 

I've broken rule #1 by not buying a sensible daily and rule #2 is don't modify it :lol:

Yup, I've got one ;) Had it for 18 months now and adore it. Haldex Performance ECU, REVO, LED Tail Lights and a few little OEM bits :) (lights not in pictures)

 

I now use the VR6 as a daily dailer as I can get 30mpg out of it rather than the scary 24mpg in the Golf (and which also needs 100RON)

 

In fact I've only driven it once in the last 3 weeks, the poor things stuck at the end of the drive gathering tree sap :shrug:

That looks really nice Bill, hope you have some fun with it. I almost can't believe you prised yourself away from those diesel runabouts after all these years. Hope you don't miss the 60mpg+ side of TDi too much :)

I do like these and could see myself owning one but I could never buy the Mk4 version. Its too chavvy.

EH!?!? Are you serious?!? :shock:

Notice no reply from Bill? He's probably stuck between Petrol stations think he was still getting 60mpg! :lol:

 

Bill what's the Mod you're thinking of?

Yep, Im not that keen on them. There maybe not chavvy as such but they appeal to more of a chav audience I think. Dont like the big deep bumpers, skirts etc. The Mk5 is more restrained in my eyes. Im more of a Q car preson anyway i.e. something that looks stock/plain but it fast as fook.

Fair enough, but I wouldn't call myself Chavvy and I love em! Still, we are all different, such is the spice of life! :clap:

Thats a lovely motor, I too wish I could have one as my daily drive. Used to like the MK4 too, but like a lot of other folk on this thread, think they seem a bit chavvy now. The MK5, however does not in any way look chavvy. Would I be right in saying you're getting royally screwed for road tax with that though?
