Bit of a long story but my mate popped round this evening with his new wheels.

Absolutely stunning following it's new car prep at Valet Magic. iPhone pics but you get the idea.  :drool:

All the toys bar a sunroof. He let me drive but with only 44 miles on the clock I took it steady. Love it.  :ashamed:

Superb car in it's own right - however it's no C5 RS6 and I know from other threads Hedge that's where your 'love' actually lies  :laugh:

Busted, but this would be a close second. Bollocks. If the numbers come up I'd have both.  :signLOL:

Irrespective of price. It is a very nice car and knowing the story behind it I bet he is chuffed to fcuk. I'd be like a cat that got the cream and the local alleyway full of pussy if that was me.  :grin:

As the saying goes. You pays your money and you makes your choices.

If he ever needs it looking after Ian tell him I will  :happy2:

why is it the moment a golf R gets mentioned the price tag arguement gets dusted off  :sleepy:

Er because it's massively overpriced? 42 grand is just insane for a Golf.

When was the last time you bought a new Golf? A pretty basic one is at least £20k, and a decently specced GTD is north of £32k...

I know, it's crazy. £10,000 more for a decently specced R over the GTD. Madness.

Price has got nothing to do with it, Nickyboy - Nobody is asking you to part with your money! We're discussing and enjoying a very good car - The Golf R. You've illustrated very well what your own taste is in cars - Have you driven or even been driven in either the Evo X or Nissan? There's more to it than just speed and value for money. "Madness" for you to spend your money on a Golf R but not for others who have the funds available.

I'm sure it's a fantastic car. Build quality throughout will be exceptional. I just wouldn't spend 42 grand on one, when that budget opens up a whole new league of options, outside of the family hatchback range.

Unless of course what your after is a Family Hatchback in which case the Golf R ticks pretty much all the boxes.

It is only beaten by a Czech Dream Machine Estate  :laugh:

Irrelevant.

Le Buyer...... has 40k in his pocket.... wants a golf.... buys a Golf R.

I don't see a problem...  :stupid:

....Most certainly when compared with your VRS. But it depends what who you want to stuff in the boot!

It's still a Golf!  42 grand for a Golf is unbelievable. I think the majority of motorists would agree with that. If you can afford it and happy to pay that then hey who cares what anyone else thinks. Enjoy  :happy2:
