Mid life crisis of sorts...Golf R to Amarok!

[Paul_R]

I'm seriously thinking about doing this. With some changes to both work and home address I just don't get to use the R anymore other than for a short commute through town. I used to get a 20 minute run on country roads with corners, stuff to overtake and then a couple of drags up the Hume sliproads but that's all gone.

I also need something that can tow a camper or Jayco and my wife's Passat doesn't cut it with its European spec 90kg tow ball limit. I can swap the Golf for an Amarok at minimal to no extra outlay and then I don't have to buy a big car for my wife. She thought she liked big cars but finds the Passat much nicer to drive.

I'll sleep on it...

Amarok is by far the best driving ute on the market .... the diesels in comparison to a R is a bit gutless, but perfectly capable of towing anything you want anywhere you want.

Petrol (now discontinued) Amaroks are much more liveable on a daily basis and with some work capable of sub 7s 0-100 for when a bit of speed is required ....
