Golf R Observations and Questions

[REXman]

All the Golf's look fairly similar so doesn't really matter .

Hey If its a good car its a good car! Ask the folks at BMW regarding there 3 series. Not a poor mans car but man they are everywhere!

As for the WRX's, I honestly start really seeing them everywhere once they an old model. EG I only now see some 08 STI's and MY10 WRX's on the road every couple of days as oppossed to the daily eyeful of MY98's I get..

Latest episode of fifth gear did a segment on the Golf R against the Seat Cupra R, heres the clip:
Volkswagen Golf R vs Seat Leon Cupra R Video

You can grab full episodes at FinalGear.com but fifth gear is usually a waste of time IMO (this clip is no exception)

Did you notice a couple of times in the video that the interior shots were not of a Golf R ?

1:10 Steering wheel and stereo surround were silver.
1:41 Not a Golf R Instrument Cluster.

Yeah, no only is it a useless segment on a new car, they were too lazy to even film it properly. Not sure why neither them or Top Gear did a review on the car, although the 6 eps of the new TG season have been fairly average as well. Averaged a single car review in each hour episode. Maybe manufacturers are reluctant to give them cars these days cos they're too honest lol.

Yeah i was surprised Top Gear didn't even give the R a mention and would of thought Fifth Gear would of done a proper review of the car as they seem to concentrate slightly less on the super car side of things. All in all pretty disappointing however the one episode of Top Gear with the Veyron, Diaz & Cruise & the Senna tribute was awesome.

Some of those interior shots were the scirocco.
very bodgy editing

Bodgy editing to match a bodgy show. Would have just cut and paste it from something else but why not, the interior is almost identical (if anything the GTI's looks better so they probably should have re shot it).
