Currently day dreaming about a Golf R, there are two cracking versions in my preferred Candy colour on "Pistoheeds".
In more doors and less pedals spec, which would be handy.
Now I know these are a rare car and know there's been various debates on here over what these are like to drive but they seem very strong money.
That said coming from a St1 Ed30 I don't think I'll be bowled over by it in standard tune, but expect it's a lovely thing to own but here's what I'm seriously wondering..
Is a Mk6 Golf R (2.0 L, Turbo'd petrol car) the last of a line of tuneable fast golfs (KO4, Haldex etc), I'm wondering with the age of downsizing etc and manufacturers going smaller engined etc, what do people reckon Golf Mk7 top spec will be?
Quite like the idea of the current Golf R, as for me a 'Rocco is not big enough, and even though I'm not convinced it would be 'worth' £20K+ over my Ed30, I just wonder whether future top end Golf's will be 1.6 or 1.4 engined, mega mpg, low CO2 bluemotioney motors in a few years, in a continuance of losing the R32 engine kind of thinking.
What do you peeps think?
