Nothing wrong with Red.

Nothing wrong with that car.

For f*cks sake!

You can't say don't go on about the price. IT'S JUST A GOLF!

I wouldn't pay £40k for a golf if it was the fastest car on the planet. At the end of the day, I just paid just over half that for a 330i coupe with 14,000 on the clock. What kind of moron pays £40k for a golf? It may be quite quick and have 4 wheel drive, but it's still JUST A GOLF.

Most of the extras on that car come as standard on a £35k BMW, Audi or Merc. I just don't get it.

....Someone who wants everything which the Golf R has to offer, who isn't fussed about what they spend to get the car they want or which suits their needs, someone who isn't a snob about the badge on their car.

I'm not about to buy a Golf R but I am that someone who you think is a moron.

That statement in the first paragraph is at a bit obvious really. Could be said of anything that someone didn't care what they spent. For me it just doesn't represent good value, but that's best saved for another day......

It is a lovely car and lovely spec, but the red just doesn't suit the R!

I think I'll save £15k and carrying on hooning round in one in a different playsuit!

I'd like to find me a £35k BMW/Audi that has Nav, Buckets/leather, DSG, Reversing camera, Bluetooth etc as standard mate? BMW are one of the worst for poverty spec in standard form. I was looking at a new 135i and for a £30k range topping model you don't even get Xenons, leather, upgraded stereo over lower models, armrest etc  :confused:

I've just seen that blue Golf R again that's local to me.. Gotta say that it really does look a quality built car and certainly up to Audi's high standards. It has good road presence and those tail lights are awesome. The DRL's aren't bad either :evilgrin:

Er my 335D was £35k brand new, with five years servicing, with a much bigger spec than that golf. I could have had a 335i for less, but needed a diesel.  Alright I do have my own terms with BMW, but it's all down to value for money. In a years time my car will still be worth £35k, the golf won't be worth £40k ..........

.... I'm sure this has all been discussed before...... Zzzzzzzzz

....It most certainly has. And the OP specifically asked for this thread not to discuss the VFM subject.

Did you know that the Golf R has proper DRL's?  :evilgrin: :wink:

Mate, i'm not for a min disputting that i'd rather have a rather a new 335i/335d (yours looks mint by the way  :wink:) over a Golf R (especially value for money). My point was that AFAIK you don't get that sort of spec as standard on a 35k BMW or Audi.
Which of those options came standard on yours mate?
