Anyone bought and Edition 35?

[Greeners]

Regularly get mid 30's in my R on my drive to work..............

And who buys a daily driver based on how it would/wouldn't work best for trackdays?!?!?

Now I've had the R I wouldn't go back to a front wheel drive Golf. The way it goes about it's business is so impressive with no fuss whatsoever when it comes to getting away and grip.  Ok so a race driver may prefer a front or rear wheel drive on track, but as there are no race tracks on my daily commute I won't be worrying anytime soon! 

I think Hurdy's thread alone should be enough to convince the doubters with regard the advantages of the R over the 'lesser' (  ) models in the range!

I would buy an R based on how it looks, and on its relative rarity.

X2 the mk6 golf R is the car the mk5 R32 should have been.
Next step up from an edition 30 would be an R in my opinion,

I like the R in Rising Blue with the Black Talladega wheels.

Mid-30's MPG is decent, what sort of journey is that though? I've read an average of 26 mpg is to be expected from an R with DSG.

Mk7 R is where its at

Through a town then mainly cross country B roads. I like the rising blue but as it seemed to be the most popular colour I avoided it! 

Regularly got into the 30's when I had to use the motorway too. I put this down to it having a proper gearbox where the driver chooses the optimum gear to be in.........
