Golf Mark V vs Mark VI

AugustusMaximus · 13-04-2009 10:03pm #1

Having read a lot of thread, it seems to me that a lot of people like the new Mark VI.

I on the other hand hate it. To me, they have gone backwards on the car design. If you put a person who had seen neither car before, I am sure they would say that the Mark V follows on from the Mark VI rather than the other way around.

The worst decision is in the rear lights. The circular rear lights of the Mark V stand out as being sporty in comparison to the Mark VI. I don't like the front either. They have widened the front lights in comparison to the Mark V and gone for a different shape front bumper.

Overall, I'm very disapointed and I hope that VW don't go for a similar design philosophy on the next generation Passat.

They're both pretty ugly, TBH. If pushed, i'd say that the Mk6 was slightly worse-looking.

I like the exhausts on the Mark VI but other that than I think the Mark V looks better in every way, the most noticable part for me (the front grill) looks better and more distintive on the Mark V.

Like the front of the mark VI but the back is horrible. The VI front and the V back would be a nice lloking car. The new Polo looks great http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/vortex_news/article_2583.shtml
