Good to see the Mk6 getting some love. Best looking Golf and last well built one (in my opinion).

[@thatpersiandude7386]

Mk7 is literally built better everywhere

[@shotta287]

@@thatpersiandude7386 not sure about that. My mk6 felt more solid than my mk7 and 7.5.

[@RANDA11FLAGG]

I had a 7 gti and then a 7.5 r. Within an hour of picking it up I noticed it was cheaper inside with cheaper plastics and missing storage .

[@fj717]

@@RANDA11FLAGG shit thats sad.. im still debating over a 6 or 7 for daily. Love the interior in the 7, but something about the 6 pulls me towards it. Like he said, 7 is simply a gorgeous car but 6, imo, is much better looking in someway, i dont even know. 😵‍💫

[@davidmassey693]

Yeah I have a 6 GTi love it . Always loved the 6

[@breadnbutter2218]

Always preferred the mk6, got a lot of bad press at the time going from 3.2 to a 2.0ltr.

[@johngrant8533]

Calvin really getting the flow of his videos now. Full run downs, all the camera work, and all the character of himself in every video.

[@nawb_84]

Completely agree, such an easy watch!

[@BraveBradley]

Great video!!! After almost 2 years i still enjoy my mk6 r20 every day! Its got 400hp. That's all the speed you need and its pretty reliable plus it looks stunning while doing it.

[@shoxy84]

Love how these look. Great engine with plenty of potential for tuning insane figures even by today's standard when Stage 2+. Got a MK6 GTI back in 2020 after watching your review from back then, has been an epic daily!

[@TheDriver78]

I love mine, certainly the best looking modern Golf and the last of the future classics I reckon!

[@jamesram6854]

Nice to see a mk6 getting a positive review I own a edition 35 stage 2 with tvs stage 3 tcu software. It’s just cost me a small fortune having a new box fitted and some preventive maintenance carried out. Never the less I love the thing and it puts a smile on my face every time I take her out. I definitely think it would make a good comparison video between the two 👌🏻

[@darrenmicklewright2008]

I prefer the 7.5 r but I do see the fascination with owning the mk6 r as they are less common on the road and its good to be different (and them seats)

[@P7PatYT]

great car and about to hit 200k Big up Calvin always bringing the great content one of my top 3 fave to watch.

[@briyan36]

Mk4 R32 all day long, absolutely legendary car.

[@mcleod1842]

Gorgeous spec on that Mk6 R, those Recaros are stunning

[@urbandadtv]

I absolutely agree with you on the rear wiper being deleted! I'll take functionality over asthetics all day. To me it's one of the perks with having a hatchback car.

[@keithgreen9009]

We have a mk6 3dr but although we have done the mods it's not that work of art . Great review and those seats are amazing

[@ian5445]

I had my 911 sc serviced at Parker and Parker in Kendal in 1994 and it cost 700 quid lol.Watching your vids as my cherished 206 GTi 180 has just been written off and the Mk 6 is my next goal.Nice content cheers.

[@MikeDomi0618]

dope cars just keep some cam followers on hand and you be good to go miss mine a bit, also the last center exhaust R which looks sick.

[@Jahmed5635]

Congratulations on 200k subs fella, very well deserved another smashing video too, underrated car 👌

[@geebee6737]

Love my MK6 and newer models just haven't inspired me enough to change. It's the best looking Golf in my opinion but owning one probably makes me biased some would say but then if I thought the newer ones looked better surely I'd have upgraded 🤣

[@shafsandal2640]

Class mate you have just made me keep mine as I was just thinking off selling 👍 class video keep it up

[@Eyeball1975]

Love that rear view cam. Nice vid :)

Saw this on the net 6 weeks ago and noticed it was at binca. So was eagerly anticipating a review. Need to sell my cars and hope it’s still available 😁

[@Bazgti250]

Buy it! They're quality motors!

[@covbmt]

Saw this on the website last week and thought would be nice if Calv done a vid on this 👍🏿

[@sebbytrial]

Golf 6R as well as 8p RS3 are same generation top-spec cars that are pretty rare because they tested the waters at that period. The result is in the number of 7R and 8v RS3 produced - they're everywhere

[@stefanbloodworth9613]

2 lovely R’s , I currently have a mk4 golf R32 in moonlight blue

[@EvoBeard]

Glad I ain't the only one Calv, I'm gonna do a 'Rear Wiper Add' to my motor as a previous owner did the delete. 😂

[@benlee8697]

Love the mk6, my favourite personally. Would be difficult to choose between that or an edition 35 (feel they are even rarer)

[@bradleyb-radmangadi4832]

one thing i like too about this car is the deep bass exhaust sound really sounds nice and great

[@ukmattj]

It remember getting a phenomenal deal on a 2015 Golf R Mk7 lease from factory. £160pcm, 10k mileage, £2.2k deposit. Don’t see those deals very often!

I had the Recaros in my MK5 R32,loved them.

Ordered my Blue 6R new with Factory Recaro Seat's I'm disabled so don't pay the VAT,spunked what I saved by speccing the Seat's, no regrets great car's 👍 leave them at Stage 2+ that's the sweet spot 💕

[@Tilleh]

I had my heart set on a silver MK6 R before it sold and i ended up in a S3 8V. Great looking cars. For sure want to own one eventually

[@davidcupra4913]

Love the mk6 R front bumper it’s also my fav. The engine less so over the mk7 as it can give issues in the mk6. We’re wingbacks an option on a mk7 clubsport S?

[@AGChiptuning]

They’re stock R brakes painted and stickers up , the MK7 R calipers are lighter, have a larger piston and a larger pad so are better all round.

[@tfsitimmy8118]

I have one of these in Blue, stage 3 tuned and its a monster :) Enjoy this

The mk6 look banging in red or the blue colour, but best looking r imo is the 7.5

[@greebo3k635]

Hi Calvin sick vid and sick car, what app did u use to check all the spec etc

The 6 never sold well as we was coming out of a recession, vw didnt offer finance packages like they did with the 7 and 7.5. .

[@B0rn2succeed]

MK4 R32 still my favorite GOLF.

[@dannyrichards7063]

Those are standard mk6 brakes, the calipers are bigger than the mk7, and the discs, 345 as opposed to 340 on the mk7. Even though they are bigger, the mk7 brakes are far superior out the box

Not sure about silver, become very popular during the Golf IV era. Apart from Golf IV and some Mercs C and CDI from that era, any other car on silver is not that appealing to me. Great motor tho, love the seats too.

[@robertjary798]

I had a lovely mk6r stage2+ wish I kept it

[@RinzSach]

This with the Phone dial 'Monza' wheels 🤌 looks amazing. I liked this generation more than mk7. Love the rounded aspect. It doesn't look dated like the mk5. The mk5 now is a very dirt cheap car and looks very old but this is the best golf r.

[@jesussaves4293]

Mk6. Best looking one for real and r32 is nice as well

[@ruisilva3317]

Second your opinion. The MK6 is probably my favourite Golf especially when they have the LED head and tail lights. Centre exhausts make it even sweeter. Shame it's only up to a year newer than my current car otherwise it would be a contender for my next car

[@chadhudson1589]

Swap the wheels from the Golf 7 R to the 6 i think it will look better...

[@tan9640]

Love the Mk6, not as good as the Mk5 nor the Mk7, but still one of the best. I feel it’s the middle brother. The 5 was so good and a return to form + the 7 was a ridiculous step forward the 6 is almost forgotten

[@lowkid2956]

Mk6 R is way better then the mk5 and mk7 easily the best looking also

Calv, where’s the M3 estate? Give us the content we really want to see! 😜

[@Dukes3677]

Hello mate! American with mk6 gti, CHECK your oil coolers all around, they will leak after making power. I didn't pay attention to min under the manifold and ran the car low on oil and windowed the block. That being said rebuilding it now and can't wait to have it again. Also if it's before a 13 replace the chain tensioner. Do a trans service and replace the pcv. Also check your mounts and make sure theyre solid still! Enjoy the mk6. Love my gti 🤍

[@whynot5808]

I also have a mk6R with 350hp and 490nm and it is so awesome to drive and 4 me it‘s also the best looking Golf. Congrats!

[@aaronbarbosa8689]

IMO there one of the best golf ever made apart from the classic ones

[@manzdoingbits766]

Love a mk6 I have a full replica with the same seats it's just that damn 1.6 tdi engine lol 😆

[@RANDA11FLAGG]

I owned a mk7 gti and a mk7.5 r and totally agree that they are everywhere. I loved the r and had it from new specked with sunroof dynaudio , black mirrors and 3 door manual in white silver . I miss it alot as you do t see any in that colour . But right now the balloon payment would be coming up at 15000! I now have a 17 plate scirocco r that has 22000 on the clock , it has bog standard spec but I love it and always wanted one. Plus not many around . If I could turn back time I would honestly of had a new scirocco r instead of the golf and specked it with buckets, dynaudio etc and in the Aztec gold colour but I can’t now and it upsets me. I also found a cigarette burn in the rear leather after purchase and went through the stress of sorting it out. Great video and I’d say I’d rather that mk6 as like you say very rare.

[@ultimatereviewshow8367]

I agree on the point about the mark 6 being the best looking Golf gen - future classic imo!

[@denizsanane7822]

i own the same mk6 and i love it

[@romzen]

In Germany noone really takes GTIs and Rs seriously. The fact alone that so many people drive Golfs makes people numb to the appearance. They're solid cars but cannot be considered a looker since they are so prevalent on the streets.

[@arronlowley5659]

seems quite low on torque, my stage 2 cupra R made 370ibft at r-tech
