    I'm still driving mine every day since I bought it back in 2013. 75K old and still drives like new! Can't beat that VW quality!

    Bought new in 2012. Love it! Great fun swerving round potholes in Byron Shire. Only 15K as OH won't drive with me. Might be something to do with the potholes . . .

    Still got my MK6 from Dec 2011 and still going strong @ 100000kms.
    More recently started to develop a slight shudder under load along with a 'miss' after a cold start.
    Changed plugs and coils but still not cured.
    I did return the car to VW (Camberwell, Vic) back in 2012 , from memory, with a hesitation / shudder problem and they ran the analyser which came up with a spacer being needed. Spacer fitted (somewhere) and problem solved.
    Manual transmission by the way.

    I miss my 3-door MK6 GTI sooooo much!!! (Sold it a few months back to another VW enthusiast)
    So Santa, if you are listening, please gift wrap an MK8 GTI/R and leave it under my Christmas tree! Thanks Santa!

    Still have my 2012 MY13 GTI. Only factory option on it are the bi-xenons. 41k kms. Had clip fitted to wastegate to eliminate rattle. Unplugged soundaktor. Only gone through one set of tyres and a battery. Still on original brake pads!

    Alas, I have an Mk7.5 R on order (pickup in Jan!) so I'll have to sell the GTI soon!

    Well after 6.5 years , and I said I would cry when I sold it ,I didn't , I did the deed , best and longest owned car in my life .
    The lure of a gorgeous clubsport 40the edition manual finally dragged me in .
    Sold the mk6 to a scotsman who will appreciate it and care for it , its so hard to find manuals in OZ , whats with all the DSG , more manuals in the UK haha .

    Yep, still have my stock standard 2010 Mk6 GTI. I didnt add anything to it, tartan seats 17"wheels. I've had it since new. Has just done over 104,000km and still very happy with it. Dreading the day when i have to sell it or it starts falling apart. 😢
