Mk 7 R
« on: November 06, 2013, 11:20:29 pm »
It can be configured now on the vw website. There is the option to delete aircon (at no extra cost lol).

Don't really understand this one - it's hardly meant for people who want to save kerb weight for track use is it?

That's Ireland for you. You can knock a massive chunk off that price because we won't have to pay their horrendous VRT. I bought my mum a Mazda 3 here for £9k and paid another £1800 to import it to Ireland - it was still 2 grand cheaper than buying the equivalent car over there.

Is it me or is the R just not special enough.......?

It looks like a GTi with no spotlights.
Wheres the fancy Recaro interior or special bodykit.
The more time I spend with the MK7 GTi, the more I like it but I'm gonna have to wait for a couple of years and find a good second hand one.

I must admit I was massively underwhelmed by it to start with, but then again I was with the Mk6 Gti and have grown to love it so who knows.
I still think in looks it's a massive step backwards from the Mk6 R, which IMO is one of, if not the best looking golfs VW have ever made.

19" Pretoria, Discover Pro and Adaptive chassis would be the only options on a 3dr DSG car. Would love to see what the price of that in the UK would be. I'm betting far more than my M135i. I originally had my heart set on waiting for the Mk7 R, then was disappointed and looked at the GTI. Before realising how much more you get with a BMW.

From speaking with Hurdy at the weekend, the next gen Haldex shoud allow more power the rears  :evilgrin:

This should be the perfect "R" when it comes out - No Cambelt or cam follower changes to worry about, and better fuel consumption  :party:

Feedback of the new S3 doesn't seem to agree, unless the R gets a different version.

The Golf MK6 R looks so much better. The MK7 R doesn't even look that different from a MK7 GTI? :stupid:

Indicators come as standard or were they still extra cost?

Optional extra still. I just wave people out of the way as I overtake.

R prices in the UK are as follows, car is not on the configurator in the UK but prices, options and specs in latest price list 

3D Manual £29,250
3D DSG £31,315

Standard spec is pretty generous like the Mk7 GTI, leather is an option

I should be ordering one tomorrow  :happy2:
