I have been trawling around trying to find the official golf r brochure for both the car and accessories

Anyone post a link

There isn't one for Australia. Just the 1 (double-sided page) flyer which is available on the Volkswagen Australia site.

What about details on the accessories, surely they are standard for all golf models.

I placed a Golf R order in late June and was told yesterday that the car won't be delivered until January 2011 at the earliest!! Was also informed that it is due to a shortage of parts ... mine is also a DSG order.

I've been asking around the dealers for ages but have had no luck. I requested one through the VW Australia website so i'll see what they send me, probably just the double sided flyer as coreying has mentioned.

I did however find a decent one for the R on the VW UK website, a few different options available listed than what we get but most of the specs are shown.

the main golf specs sheet -- golf_brochure_specifications.pdf seems like a pretty good starting spot.

Just got back from a 4 hour run up the coast, made me curious about the Golf R ride and load capacity. Generally I am the only one in the car and mostly used for the daily commute but with the occasional long run I was was wondering if anything was comparable to the R in ride and what experiences have been had with long distance travel
