when did i ever make a claim that the 2006 was better than the 2007? you should pay attention when you read posts because i said that i HEARD the 06 was better.
So I asked you where you HEARD it?
BTW: Don't call me buddy and I won't call you honey... kthxbye :-*
lol w/e BUDDY i dont mind if you call me honey

.. newayz i think i heard it in another post how someone said the 06 was better and that they had ruined it in the 07 by not offering headlamp washers and how it was not made in wolfsburg anymore and so on.. thats why i wanted to start a topic just to see the differences between the two model years.
So, yes *honey*

, the 07 has headlight washers, but I could go without them. AFAIK all GTI's are made in Wolfsburg (I think the Jetta/GLI is hecho en Mexico).
If you can find a pre-loved 06 with low miles in good shape, you could save yourself a chunk of dough that you could put towards your new car. If the dealer still has a new 06- if they make you a screaming deal on it- go for it.
The 07 has some added features (as pointed out above). Now the folks in Europe had the MkV GTI a year before it made it to North America in 05. As with any new car design, there are gonna be bugs and as the car gets newer, they tend to works those bugs out, be it software or hardware.
Is the 06 better? IMHO, no it's not, but it is not that far off. I tried to get my brother to sell his 06 to me before I bought my 07. There is also a thread on the 08:

edit: If you buy a used GTI make sure they include your Fast.
