Been out in a Golf R

[MAT ED30]

I think the Golf R being pricey is a good thing... makes owning one a special feeling knowing your part of a RARE breed..

It is priced at £37k+ for a reason... otherwise everyone would be buying one....

Its still an s3 with a golf body and its still overpriced for a golf  vw have lost the plot as vw was always the peoples car not the rich boys car

[VC]

always boils back to the price issue with this car

i think  thats maybe one of the only reasons for owning one? more of a statement that youve got one, youve spent alot on it, others wouldnt so all they can do is look at yours and think your mad but be envious slightly

if the price dropped to 'golf' money this would be a totally different story

VW should have made a true MK6 not a 5.5 then maybe just maybe the extra spend could be justified

If I had the money at this moment in time it would be mine!! As it happens I don't but as soon as I do I will have one!

Looks lovely.

I'd much prefer one over an s3 but no hatch would get me spending that much. I'd imagine it drives better than an s3, that a3 and s3 platform never reviewed as well as the equivalent mk5 golfs. Numb steering and poor ride was what always separated them

Couldn't agree more. I dont think it's over priced - the entire 2010 UK allocation has sold out, so clearly I'm not alone in thinking that either. The price has certainly made it a marmite car though. I love it.

Bringing the thread back on topic - 182_blue, what was the engine/exhaust note like?

[neg]

Its just your not getting much more for your money I feel - maybe if it had a different engine but afterall its the S3 engine, basically the same as the older Ed30 .. so you get 4motion and the R badge.

Company car, of course if its not my money I would have one in a flash!

If they priced it higher it would probably sell out, its not 'that' special in my eyes though - £30k for a fully loaded one maybe.
