Golf R Observations and Questions

heh, a Barina will beat the R off the mark for the first 20 metres

Hahha punch off the line, well thats where an electric car comes into the equation This is sure to raise a few eyebrows and debate esp amongst the car purists and hard core VW fans. Would seriously consider an upgrade to something like this in 3 years time if its available, but the practicalities of charging times, new batterys and range could be a problem. Reading the reviews tho the top end model s seems like a cracker. 0-100 in 4.4, full instant torque all the way to the redline and very good handing given its weight due to the low battery location and design. Claimed drag coefficient of an excellent .24 as well. Really nice looking car too. Almost like a cross between a Maserati and Aston Martin mhmmmmmmmm! lol

I wonder how long before we'll be chipping and modding electric cars. Vive la revolution!

You ca, I am old school, love the sound of engine and exhaust. Love the smell of Octane in the morning

You still have the soundaktor installed though. I have no doubt that VW could simulate "octane in the morning", if that is your thing

Hey it can be the sound of a 120Y for all I care

Hey! Does anyone have this R style emblem attached on their Golf? I wonder hows the fitment?
Also, is it noticeable at all?

if you are thinking of attaching this emblem to a non-R golf, don't do it. please.

Too late, I've seen a Caddy with the R emblem attached! It's a Coffee delivery van with Black Talledaga's.

I've seen that one too, parks down on Mary Street.
I like the look but feel dirty about it.
