Guest UK2004 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Anyone here driven the auto VR6's? Were you impressed? Am looking at Corrado VR6 and Golf VR6 and although really i prefer Corrado are getting expensive and have rediculous mileage I seme to able to get a decent well looked after golf vr6 for 3.5-4k, what are they like in terms of handling and performance?

dub_weiser 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I happen to own an auto'd VR6. Having had a MK2 VR6 which was a manual its not quite the same driving experience, but none the less still love the power to bits. Don't tend to trah the car too much but it handles well (got it lowered thou) and is very responsive still. Downside is it drinks more petrol but you don't buy VR's worrying about petrol mind Link to post Share on other sites
Bezman 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hello mate have owned an auto VR6 highline for a few months now and am well impressed. It is unmodded and bog standard but still VR rapid with impresive kick down when you feel the impulse !lol Picked it up for 3.5 grand with full v dub serv hist. Not sure about modding an auto though.

TopsVR6 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 My first VR was a manual which i loved,my latest VR which i've had now for over a year is Auto. I was a bit dubious intially but read good reports about them and found that it does suit the engine really well. The performance feels just as punchy and the kickdown is superb,i'd say my fuel economy is only around 20 miles per tank worse than the manual. So overall i'm pretty chuffed with it,especialy in monster traffic jams!! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Not forgetting that autoboxes need overhauling at about about 80k. Link to post Share on other sites

dub_weiser 0 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 No need for an overhaul yet then as I've only clocked 28k miles Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 That must be the lowest mile VR on here Link to post Share on other sites

amit 0 Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 ive had mine for 2 years now. Quiet fun to drive. But to be honest the next car im going to get will be manual. It can get a bit boring after a while. Ive added a bmc filter to mine. Kickdown is quiet potent especially when u do it at 20mph. You can always use gears 1,2,3 manually if you want. double pressing the accelerator drops the gears if you want responsivness. They are good runners, but as i said, can get a tad boring.
