I think it looks stunning. I'll have one in Tornado red if I win the lottery. I guarantee the exhaust note will be a real crackler.

VW should have stuck the 5 banger in with some flared arches, nicer wheels. Dont know what they were thinking to be honest. The Mk6 R is fantastic looking.

They were thinking a mass market car, with lower running costs, emmisions, and insurance costs, and buying costs for more sales.  :P

What a huge disappointment. It is in no way aggressive or sporty like an 'R' should be. In fact from the front I'd mistake it for a bog standard 1.4  :surprised:

I love it? In fact I think most of the Mk7 range looks great , bar the absolute base cars. (pretty much the same as any car to me , the base spec ones suck) I will never be able to afford £35,000 for a car though so I will be sticking to a Mk6 R 3 door when the time comes to change.

Not a fan, it doesn't look as good as the GTi, looks more like a base model, I've been running about in a mk7 diesel for the last few weeks and I think they flow well when driving but I don't rate the car the interior does nothing for and I think the exterior is blah, faceless, for me the two previous generations were better.

Very disappointed, they could have made the front end a bit more aggressive and still made it subtle and understated like the R is supposed to be, also looks like it's on stilts.
Interior and seats as per the Gti are bland and not as good as the Mk5/6 but thumbs up for the power output though. Always thought the Mk5 gti was better looking than the R32, changed my mind for the Mk6 and the R but afraid I've swung back and now and favour the gti again for this Mk....hopefullly there'l be a tasty "edition" model for the Gti soon.

I agree with both the above!!

For,VW it is an opportunity missed. :sad1:

Having said that I bet it will still handle well. :happy2:

Perhaps there's a Golf RR in the pipeline (doubts)

£35k??? Really??? Even when the new S3 is £30k? Can't see that happening to be honest..

It does put VW in a bit of a predicament though with the fact they have priced the Mk7 GTI where they have. Do they make the Golf £30k (in line with the S3) and risk affecting sales of the GTI. Or do they price the .:R at well over £30k and send all potential customers to their local Audi garage....?  :confused:

Oh and it looks pants!  :booty:
