golf R

[cktsi]

I may trade in my 118tsi for this.........

no kidding! Piano black gloss rear diffuser. ok... so the rear is at least differentiated from the rest of the Golf range . The only question left for me after the german car fans article is.... 'what does it sound like?' And I'm a HUGE fan of the R32's exhaust note

Anyone wanna guess how much

65 on the road? Will GPS, Sunroof be standard kit? Will Leather Seats be an option?

UK price is 28000 Pounds +
That's over 500 Pounds DEARER than an Audi S3.......
And no,that's not a misprint.
Good luck selling them at that price!

i'm gonna have some sweet dreams about this car tonight when i go to bed.

prices in GBP
focus RS 26395
audi S3 27480
golf R32 25570 (price at 2006)
golf R 28000

i'll take the golf R over the S3 and RS any day of the week. for the love of the brand...
plus really, when you look at the dollar terms/percentage difference between the golf R and R32, it's comparable pricing difference to stock mkv GTI and pirelli. you're paying a bit extra for a quicker, lighter car with a few extra features.

but you're right maccaa, think UK will find it tough selling them at that price...like all cars over GBP 25k.

mattyf83 - GPS, sunroof and leather will all be options. standard seats will be GTI spec seats in cloth trim (as per photos) but supposedly have alcantara bolsters.

Hi res pics available on AUSmotive.

Can't wait to see one of these in the metal.

I think it looks awesome, especially from the front.

The looks seem a bit too similar to the normal golf And i think only one question matters now, will it sound as good as the old VR6 engine?

I wouldn't say so, when I bought my .:R in UK I paided more than £28k, plus look at the Mk5 this time last year the market dropped it's arse in the UK and cars that were worth £20k were selling for £12k, they're now back up to £16.

P.S. what happened to my other post regarding cloth seats and 2L engine :¦

Where is the 28000UKP figure coming from? Something cooked up by a magazine I assume

Looks Boring not aggressive enough!

Compared to a MK5 GTI especially the front.

Will have to look at one in the flesh
