leddy Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I am currently in the market for a gti.but was wondering what the real difference between the 5 and 6 speed box is in terms of speed, driveability and fuel consumption etc etcis it really worth me spending what seems to be a fair bit more money on a 6 speed?cheers guyssteve style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Real world differences are very little, as you can see from the table above in gear times are different but they're a false comparison as the 5 spd car can achieve the same times just in a lower gear which would involve a gear change in the 6 spd. It's horses for courses, buy on condition rather than how many gears it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 As mentioned above there is not a lot of difference but when I was looking I wanted the six speed box style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 cheers guys thats very helpful style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> why do the 6 speed ones seem to sell for so much more money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Photon Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 why do the 6 speed ones seem to sell for so much more money?Because they are newer style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> In my opinion the 6-speed is nicer to drive - if only because you have more gears to play with so it feels more involving style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Buy on condition rather than box imho.And yes, of course 6 speed cars are generally more expensive than 5 speeders because they are newer. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 i understand that they are newer but they seem to sell for quite alot more money.id really like a six speeder just for the novelty of having six gears style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> just dont know if i can justify spending the money on one just for the extra gear.Does anybody know how many of each colour gti were produced?
