Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

The black and white look like Polos but the r-line looks good.

Is the white roof and bonnet just the shipping plastic ?

Yeah thats the protective stuff they put on it for protection when shipping

Mine is sitting on the showroom floor with a sold sign. I think it should be able to be picked up on August 14 but the dealer told my insurer (who needed to check details as it is too new to be in their data base) that the 16th will be the earliest. Killing me is correct.

Woohoo!!! Just got the call, I can pick up the car next Tuesday the 8th. They can't be demonstrated until the 15th but they can sell them ( as in sold ones can be on the road) from the 7th August. Not many sleeps now!!! Robert.

Who has ordered a gold rline or a white/black gti 7.5?

How exciting! I was wondering why I hadn't seen any on the road yet.

I wish my insurer had been a little quicker in nailing down my blue Trendline, would've been back on the road 4 weeks earlier than I will be.

I think the new R looks much better than its predecessor.

The GTI already looked aggressive, so the 7.5 just maintains that look.

But the R finally looks decent & differentiates itself from the standard Golfs imo.

Yeah, the R looks better now but still not as good as the GTI.
The front grille looks meaner and better on the 7.5 R compared to the GTI, but the Red line at the front and how it wraps around the lights on the GTI looks so much better. The R needs a distinct colour on the outside, it shouldn't be the same as the other models (silver).
Also the silver stitching in the interior and the Silver brake pads look bland compared to the Red on the GTI.

I prefer the rims though of the R and can't wait to drive the thing!
Love the car just wish the had a better colour than silver

Hi guys,

Just visited my dealer to check out the R and I can confirm Double DRL on the front and double LED on the back (when lights are on).
I have fallen in love with the car, the new Discover Pro 9.2 " screen and the electronic dash look amazing!

Meeting with dealer tomorrow after work, see what happens.

Me too. Wish Dynaudio was an option. Believe it will be in next years run.

Went to my local VW dealer in Melb yesterday re ordering a 2017 MK7.5 R
They actually have one on the floor to look at , they have it covered up but happy to uncover it too show me.
Wow the 2 new large displays inside are very nice - much nicer resolution on the 9.2 centre display than on my Mk7 MY16 R-Line Highline and that big display behind the steering wheel is also loverly.
And I love those rear indicators they way they move across when indicating looks so sexy.
Shame the premium audio doesn't seem to be an option on the R unless you get the wolfy...
The one on display also has sunroof and well as the driver assist pack
Price for this one in Blue with DSG was $63500
I didn't really want to pay for the sunroof or driver assist so and they have a Blue DSG one coming in in a few weeks and got that down to $59500 on the road - not sure how good that is...
What price's are others here been quoted on the Mk7.5 R's.

Went for a test drive in a Mk7 R - wow these things are such fun but I want that new tech of the Mk 7.5

Tks

Sorry to hear what lib said. But is true.
I've been quoted $58,500 drive away with both inc. and extras.
Go back to them and pressure them.
Or see if you can cancel.

Can anyone share with me via PM (if they don't want to share here) their prices for the 7.5 R?
Spoke with my dealership (who I have bought a few cars off) and the quote I received was wayyyy too much and I was advised that they can't drop much.
I just don't know what price I can realistically ask for, is 60k for full specd DSG R realistic or do I need to revise my budget? I won't be leasing or financing.

Any help/advice will be appreciated.

Cheers

Getting mine for $58,500 fully loaded in black

Yeah, saw that price. Very good going if you ask me!
I agree I SHOULD be able get the R under 60 because of the price he got for the Wolfie but I doubt many will budge.
I was told January at the earliest for Wolfie, too long a wait if you ask me!
Also the story speakers on the sounded fine for me. I would prefer dynaudio but yeah, think I'll stick with the R if it doesn't work out Price and delivery wise.

Agree
Wolf was at least that.
All dealers I spoke to in Vic, 11 of them have told me the same thing. They get 1-2 of the 3 fully optioned. And are sold to their pref customers already. If you order, your looking before April. 2018.
The standard sounds good, but dynaudio is much better. It wasn't worth the wait for me. Not crazy about the options, so not worth the wait and cost just for the audio.
Audio upgrade later if I want. Place in qld sells the kit.
So when I get the car, road trip.
Mine is black with driver and roof plus extras for $58,500
