Hello All.

I am starting to look out for a 5dr 6R GTI and I'd like the digital climate control, xenons, convenience pack, passenger air bag deactivation and sat nav. I understand that sat nav is a relatively easy retrofit ... 315/510 (factory installed 315 only I think)?

I am probably going to need to look a up to year old car with a budget of circa £15k. I'd like some guidance in what to look out for when viewing a used 6R GTI? Whats the cloth upholsterly like to live with, they look a bit tacky in the photos. Is the GTI still not supplied with a spare wheel? I'm aware of higher oil consumption and turbo related issues.

I have owned a 9n3 GTI 5dr and that was a cool small hatchback to live with, but it had almost every conceivable option available at the time and it was mildly modified for drivability and handling

Mine is up on eBay if you are very quick!

There pretty much spot on mate in all areas.....Interior is a joy to be in. Exterior is stunning with great build quality which im sure you're aware.

I was going to mention the oil issue (but you already have) but would advise you to get the later revision of the engine (Code - CTHE i believe)

This has the "Revised Parts" fitted as standard and will be less likely to drink oil.....not a 100% guarantee but less likely.
