Is that a tasty Merc I see in the garage btw? :)

Hi Dutch77,
Yes they are standard R seats and I was so happy that they were not leather. I don't want to start an argument but I find leather wears and stretches and can become very untidy. It is cold and slipper and yes, they come with heated seats but it does take a while to warm up. I still have a white mk6 R with cloth seats and traded the Black R with leather for this beautiful beast. I just love this Mk7 R. Awesome machine.

Yes the car in the garage is my toy car, a C63 coupe.

I was trying to get the car with the alcantara seats but I wanted the panoramic roof, and the only way of getting roof was with the 3 extras available leather, diver package, and roof. The only way of getting a car with the alcantara fabric at this time is getting a plain version.

Also to the haters of the R I gotta say I was one of you when I first look at it on an internet picture, but then I started to see videos and finally in person and after drove it man I gotta say the car really grows on you, I love it...

Your toy is a C63? My toy is an M3.. Scalextric. ;)

Yeah best to steer clear of the cloth v leather wars, there are pros and cons to both. I had leather on my Mk6 by default, stuck with cloth on the Mk7 order.

VWA tend to do plain or fully loaded when they do bulk/unassigned orders sergioscirroco.. I remember when I was considering a Tiguan last year it was hard to get one that only had xenons, or xenons/leather - they all had the sunroof as well which I definitely did not want on the Tiguan.

It's arrived! Pick up next week!

MkV golf owners (me included with the r32) hated the MkVI. MkVI owners hate the MkVII.
Same old merry-go-round.

Alot of opinion here. Not a lot of useful comment. Drive one. Buy one. Report back :D

Ahh yes - gotta love those double digit odometer readings...

I love the speedo on the R, it's increasing by the increments of 10. The gti only goes up by 20, it's hard to keep on the 70.

How do they justify running up 14km?
Can't think of any pre-delivery check that needs that much!
Interesting that my dealer offered to deliver my car to my home - I wonder if that is partly to cover up a bit of joyriding!
(I will pick it up from VW next week - can't wait to see the ODO reading!)
