Wolfsburg Edition Golf R

[GolfAus]

Currently tossing up between a Wolfsburg and an Alltrack with the three optional packages (weird I know). Performance and price aside, the main differences I see are:
Wolfsburg
No Park assist

Alltrack
No blind spot monitor / rear traffic alert

Is there anything else that is a major difference?

Well I bit the bullet today, got a Wolfsburg Wagon in white with no sunroof. Can’t wait to get it in a few days!

Congratulations, I think you have made an excellent choice (but it is just possible that I might be a teensy bit biased )

You will be very happy to only wait a few days, IIRC some people ordering non-Wolfsburg Golf R wagons were told they would be waiting until March - June

Thanks, I’m sure I will enjoy it. I must have watched almost every YouTube video

I’m not sure what price the R wagons are going for but plenty of Wolfsburgs in stock at Sydney dealers. Despite what they say about being limited edition, limited availability, you can still negotiate on price if you are prepared to buy as they want to move the stock off their floor. I’m very happy with the price I got and it was well less than the advertised $66,005 drive away pricing on the website. I wanted the Dynaudio so R was out of the question

Excellent. No time for buyer's remorse.

Isn't the Dynaudio now available to order with the standard R?

Only reason I'd bother with the Wolfsburg now is for the Pretorias, and tbh, the Spielburgs are starting to grow on me.

In terms of the Wagons in Sydney, do they have sunroofs?

Dont know about Dynaudio being available with the R

Sydney City VW has a white and black without sunroofs, 2 blues with a sunroof, 1 white with a sunroof (demo)
Rockdale VW has a white (I think with sunroof) and a blue (I think without)

My dealer checked the stock coming into the country and none of the stock R have the Dynaudio and she had not heard of it being an option...


Mk7 Golf TDI Highline. Limestone green.

There's been a lot of talk that Dynaudio would return as an option in 2018 but so far nothing official. Given that dealers have supposedly been telling some forum users it's coming then perhaps it will make an appearance on the MY19 models midyear.

If you can get access to a Wolfsburg then it's a no-brainer unless you want manual. Price gap on a hatch is $2,500, less DAP = $1,200 - and for that you're getting Dynaudio, nappa and the Pretorias.

I had no interest in another set of boring diamond cut OEM alloys so I knew buying a stock ride I was instantly up for $3k for new alloys; the Pretorias are the best OEM wheel VW has done IMO and are a decent weight saving off Spielbergs, they will tide me over until I work out what else I might go for one day.

Confirmed it's in as an option for the 18.5, I changed my order to one.
