^^^^^ And that sums it up.
A typical R buyer is probably someone who could afford a big luxury car but doesn't want one. In fact he probably has a big 4x4 as a family car and possibly other cars at his/her disposal too. I'm sure VW did their homework before releasing it, and it's not the first time the top Golf has been horrendously overpriced compared to what the average Golf owner would consider as affordable.
For us mere mortals there is always the just released Leon Cupra R if you need 5 doors and an involving drive.

Don't think of yourself as "a mere mortal" just because you may currently not be able to afford a Golf R, Andy. Folks with money aren't necessarily any better as human beings.

VA, thank you for the comments on the car. 4 wheels and a steering wheel were standard......, however £35k was my fully spec'd price, I saved over £10k on the retail.

RR I like factory fit DRLs, I hsve mine on all the time......
