been aiming for this piece of metal since I first test drove it on the
streets of North London in its Mk2 guise back in late '80s.
from 137hp in Mark 2 to 210hp now.... that should come in handy

Volkswagen based the latest Volkswagen Golf Mk6 on the existing PQ35 platform from the Golf Mk5[5]. This vehicle was debuted at the 2008 Paris Motor Show[6].
The Mk6 Golf was designed by Volkswagen's chief designer Walter de'Silva, with design cues inspired from the previous generations of the Golf, particularly the Mk1 and the Mk4. The design is said to be more aerodynamic, helping fuel efficiency, and is quieter than its predecessor. Following criticism of the downgraded interior trim quality of the Mk5 Golf in comparison to the Mk4, Volkswagen opted to overhaul the interior to match the quality with the Mk4 Golf, while maintaining the same user friendliness from the Mk5. The car will also be cheaper to build than its predecessor; Volkswagen claims that it will be able to pass on these savings to the customer as a result.[7]
New on the Golf, is the optional Volkswagen Adaptive Chassis Control, which will allow the driver to select between 'normal', 'comfort' and 'sports' modes, which will vary the suspension, steering and accelerator behaviour accordingly[8].
The Mk6 Golf was introduced for sale in the UK in January 2009[9].
