No my doing with the 2 k deposit. Second VW purchase did at the same picking r36.

apr stage i or 2 is cheap and is in all one house. ie. one supplier. So the overall price including tunes 1 or 2 it makes for a cheap car when compared to what is around at the same money with the fun factor. Sure stage two is a number of hardware choices to be made but still the aim is to have no drone inside and more power is important. so 240kw e3tc is a great outcome. Do the mods to a porsche etc 13k plus with not much gain nor fun to drive.

The Golf R will also feature in this month's DLC for Forza 3.
Will be interesting to see if it's 3dr or 5dr.

So wait, are those RRP prices speculation or confirmed? As the article reads like they are confirmed prices....

Not really a tough choice.
If money is an option, got the GTI.

If you have enough, then the R will be better in every aspect.
Plus the LED lights will be close to 1k landed and then extra to install if you buy them aftermarket for the GTI.
Hopefully the R Xenon's are actually using functional DRL's.

It's a bit ambiguous, is it referring the the old R32 or the new R? I've sent a couple of email enquiries, so let's see what that reveals. Of course, our friendly dealer reps on here might be able to shed some light on those figures too.

We already knew that info about the lights.

Your friendly dealer reps do not know the price....

Nothing new there, and his info is wrong. Ours will have 330Nm, not 350 like the euro spec. It will also mean that the quoted 0-100 times will be slightly slower.

ROFL that might be a reason for me to actually start playing Forza again!

They're talking about the old R32. I have an old RRP list in front of me dated last June.

Not that you would be silly enough to say anything before VWA did the official media launch
