Golf R Wagon thread

What's with the standard tail lights instead of the fancy pants LEDs?

[Dutch77]

I believe it only gets darkened tail lenses (there is no wagon OEM LED assembly?)

No bad thing, the Mk7 LED tails look good off, but look pretty cheap when lit up - the Mk6 ones were a lot better.

Ordered at $66k flat drive away with all options ticked in Lapiz - only option is Panoramic sunroof.
Late Sep dealership delivery.
Better be as good as they say as I am selling my SQ5 for this opportunity.

Wow! That's an interesting move.... hope it lives up to the hype.

The Golf wagon should be a lot better in the corners - about 1 ton less to change direction.

Very interesting move indeed, I went from a MK7 Golf R to the SQ5 and haven't looked back at all. Yes the Golf was a lot more fun in the hills but I am loving the SQ5.
Best of luck with your choice Dingah

Change of priorities seems to dictate your choices here, where one is downsizing and the other is upsizing. Though, it's actually much more than that, as each of you is changing brands as well. I would like to know how the Audi customer experience compares to Volkswagen.

Having purchased a new MK7R and a new Audi S3 sedan I will personally say that the Audi experience, customer service has been flawless. Every single dealership and sales person I spoke to were fantastic. The VW treatment at 2 dealerships was pathetic but when I went to Camberwell VW they were fantastic.

Both cars needed early on warranty work and both matters fixed promptly and provided car for day/night on both times.

Cross shopping at BMW and Mercedes both were terrible experiences, Mercedes was unbelievably bad and only knowledge of car or sales pitch was "do you want to own a mercedes or not." No explanation of how car works, refused to let me test drice A45 AMG and I took A250 back within 2 minutes as hated it.

BMW at Brighton were almost as rude. Salesman refused to even let us see/test drive M135i unless buying on the spot but then found out friend worked as head finance at other dealership and they couldn;t be more helpful.

So when will the wagon be here??? Do we really think Sept like some articles and some dealers have said? I think this might be optimistic. My dealer does not have confirmed DD yet.

Need to sell my skud if its Sept!

I bought a Mk6 GTI and an 8V S3 from the same dealership. Although the sales experience was pretty good both times, the Audi post-sale follow-up and dealer support has been in another league to what I got from VWA and as a VW owner at the dealership. It really does go a long way toward justifying the premium for me (although I also feel the product does that for itself).
