Very nice,

I can imagine many people on here are getting the itches/urges to sell their MK5 GTi for one of these :smiley:

I don't think the Golf R and the S3 look the same at all, but perhaps you guys mean more similar in the mechanicals.

^^^ Nope I don't mean mechanical similarities, the Golf R look more for like the Audi than any of the previous equivalent models from the two brands IMHO.

I think it looks far more purposeful personally. In fact, i like it so much i want to place an order. Unfortunately i cant afford to place an order.  :signLOL:

Having sold my mk5 back in March I could be tempted - will wait and see what price tag it holds and see if its really worth it over a GTI, obviously its more but is it really worth it all in the real world.

Do like the 3 door look too, although it may have to be 5 for me - got to be a little sensible  :laugh:

....

What I think is really interesting for us guys who stay with our Mk5's, is that our cars are suddenly no longer the latest state-of-the-art but are now fast becoming a revered classic in the GTI heritage.

I find the Golf R far more exciting than the Mk6 GTI but love my modified Mk5 so much that a swop is pointless (so I'm going to keep telling myself). I called in socially on my VW dealer this morning and the top guy came over and asked me what I thought about the Golf R - He said he'd call me in for a test drive as soon as they had one next year. Help!
