Golf R Specifications and Prices - 2nd Edition

[daft009]

is there a difference in features between MY12 or MY12.5? (or late 2011 production model versus 2012 production)

I'm considering a R in-stock "brand new" & have been told supposedly MY12. Haven't seen it in person as yet

Paul,
what was the build week of your car and I'll tell you if it's a MY12 or a 12.5,
AFAIK, all 12.5's are 2012 build and complianced (obviously)
The cut off I think was week 2. Mine's a week 4 build and scheduled to land 22nd of March. add 2 weeks to clear patricks, and add 1 week for delivery (3 days actually).

I have been told the car is a week 48 build so is a MY12 the question is will the compliance plate be a 2011 model? I assume so. I do have the vin number just need to find the site to check

Compliance plate is added once it comes into the country by Patricks, and after tyre placard, and other labels are added. So it'll be a 2012

[Paulc1964au]

thanks for that I'm happier that it will be plated 2012

What tyres can i expect the R to be fitted with on 18 inch wheels?

Mine came with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT. I was beside a nice Pearl white R today with black 19"s and the same tyres (well 19" version of course).

Mine too.

Soon to go. Not rating them very highly. Got the new Evo tyre test the other day. Goodyear Eagle Asyms 2 or Conti's look the way to go.
