2009 VW Golf GTI Mk. VI

I DID 0-160 STOCK DSG IN 14.7 SECONDS AND U GUYS KNOW THAT THE 1/4 MILE IS DONE AT 161 KM SHOULDINT U FIX THE 0-160 TO 14.4

Notice, we have 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) not 0-96,5 km/h figures in car pages.

So there's nothing bogus or shameful.

some one please fix these bogus number my 2010 does it in 5.8 with out launch control and 5.5 with launch control and 160 in about 14.8 seconds
motor trend did it in 5.8 with out LC

sorry to bother but these numbers are just shamfull

How can the 0-160 time be 15.4 secs, when the the quarter mile time is 14.5 secs, at 161 kmh??

@ anon

It was british best car tester who rated the Scirocco R over the RS ...

and by the way, the focus rs is still regarded as the best hot hatch available to buy at the moment, evo, autocar, auto express have all rated it as such.
the scirocco was rated by one reviewer over the rs as its easier to manage the power, the rs is still quick :-)

the golf gti base car is 24,175, for that you dont get bi-xenons,dab stereo,auto headlights,tyre sensors,quick clear windscreen etc etc0the focus st does! im not making it up mate, the golf gti is a rip off in base spec compared to the st,
it costs nearly 2 grand more! vw are having a laugh!

overpriced and not worth it, the st has the gti pipped in every way, and its 4 years older, get used to it.

the ST was in production together with the Edition30 and Pirelli ..the Focus RS lost it´s first UK compare vs the cheaper less powerfull Scirocco R ...

according to Ford and VW UK webpage the GTI starts at 24,175 and the Ford ST at 22,500 both stripped out of everything...with leather the ST starts at 23,488

the different isn´t as big as you try to let it look!

the gti edition30 isnt made anymore, this model was replaced with the pirelli edition, also phased out with the mk5.
the golf r is 30k, so nearly 5k more than the equivelant hot hatches focus rs and audi s3 which, according to the golf r reviews, are both alot better.
the r32 mk5 was sluggish and thirsty.
in the uk, the golf gti starts at 25k for a bog spec one, no luxurys.
the st is around 22k with full leather interior etc, so 3k cheaper with more spec and nicer engine, the new megane rs250 is also 3k cheaper. these are both better at what they do.

VW has car´s abouve the GTI in the hot hatch segment and they have a GTI with more power than the ST... the GTI Edition30 with 230hp, there is the Golf R and there was the R32...
In Germany the home of both cars the GTI and the ST (like al Europen Ford models) cost exactly the same 26,500Euro incl 19% VAT

Focus st is same 0-60 as the golf gti, is cheaper and 4 years older than this?! will vw ever move the golf gti where it should be?

how can it take vw 4 years to come up with a hot hatch with less power and equal 0-60 to hot hatches that came out in 2005? get your act together vw, this car is no good.
Hence why every ones no aiming to get the hot hatches that are moving the game on, ie megane rs250, focus rs and mazda3 mps, 200bhp wont cut it anymore. disappointing, really disapointing.

(and vag fanboys, give up, this doesnt cut it *ahem* georg)

Nice! Posted better times at Kyalami than the C63 and the 135i!

This is a good looking car, there is nothing to complain about.

this gti is still more money and slower on paper than its main rivals.

“That's precisely the point I'm trying to make. ”

But the point Georg was trying to make was to refute the comment (from another Anon) that stated "Golf gti has now fallen back to the rear of the hot hatch q.
its now sedate, boring and not at all very quick-older hot hatches like the focus st and vxr are alot quicker and a hell of a lot cheaper."

Georg then stated that "the GTI is still one of the fastest payable hothatches " and he provided stats to back his claim.

you can´t clock fun... and the question was which is quicker, cheaper, faster on the track...and thats clearly the GTI...

Anon,

That's precisely the point I'm trying to make.

“It's funny how you take only values backing your claims:”
LoL. How dare he use facts to support his opinion!

The "amount of fun" you have driving a car differs from person to person.

Since they are all so close in performance and price, it all comes down to personal opinion.

Georg,

It's funny how you take only values backing your claims:

GTI 0-100mph 15.4a
Type R 0-100mph 15.9s

Why not take the 0-60mph times then? (GTI 6.9s vs CTR 6.76s)

My point is not that CTR is better, it's that all those numbers say crap except they're in the same league. As an enthusiast what I value though is the amount of fun I have with a car, and in that respect the GTI lost a lot of its sporty spirit. Driving the GTI just feels so sedated whereas mastering the CTR is just infinitely more rewarding.

Mazda 3MPS 26,800Euro (2007)
GTI 26,500Euro
cheaper NO
no laptimes of the new MPS avaible to see which is better on the track

GTI 26,500Euro
Focus ST 26,000Euro
little bit cheaper
but GTI faster 0-100mph and faster on 6 of 8 tracks
