golf R
« on: October 21, 2011, 08:27:38 pm »
went to see a golf r today , 2011 , 1400 miles in grey was lovely looking car but the drive after being used to the megane felt real boring , like a normal golf , pissed off really cause quite fancied it , imo the leather recaro s in the megane are much better quality than the golf s seats also the interior is only same build quality as the renault
whats going on ? was expecting to leave the place with the deal done :scared:

have heard the R is like driving a Stg 1 ED30 but with better grip off the line.

They sound quite nice for a 4 pot. Saw one in Rising Blue earlier today and the zorst has a nice rumble to it low down.

Does it not have the Tsi Engine as well?

The S3 has a Tfsi.

I like the R. I started to look at them now the arse has dropped out of the market.

I saw one for £22k in white 5 door DSG.

Then I saw one at VW almost the same spec at around £27k!

S3 / Golf R have same engine. VW just wanted to give the R that bit more bhp so that it could warrant the premium over the S3!

Golf R is tsi, wouldn't say it's like a mapped ED30, I have a mapped ED30 and my Eddie has lots more punch, golf R is a nice car but just doesn't justify the ££££ and that's coming from me who works for VW  :signLOL:

I thought they used the same engine????? Agree with above, the thought of finding another 10k plus to fund an R seems silly! Id be looking at M3s instead.
