Help me choose the right Golf GTI!

I am thinking about changing the car at the moment. Currently have a 2008 mk V Golf GTI and was thinking of upgrading to a mk VI, probably around 2011/2012 reg. Thing is, would I be better waiting a year and picking up one of the mk VII models that came out late last year instead? And also, new GTI instead of new GTD for driving enjoyment?

Should I be worried about oil consumption in my Scirocco?

I've an 18-month old Volkswagen Scirocco 1.4 TSI with 23,000km on it bought new. It isn't driven hard at all, but I had to put a litre of oil into it today because the warning light came on; is this normal? Should I be getting it checked out by Volkswagen? The on-board computer says next service is still 7,000km away?

What's up with my Passat's seat?

Hi guys,

Are you aware of any fault with the driver's seat in the Volkswagen Passat? I have a 2011 model and when my back shifts position when driving I can feel a panel in the backrest flexing/popping. It's extremely annoying and I was just wondering of you were aware of any other cases and if there's anything I can do about it
