Yeah, I placed an order. Original delivery at the time of sale was approximately 23 Sept. Turns out they couldn't secure the car they thought they could, which was disappointing. New delivery date is around 3 Nov.

Hi, just a question to all you golf r owners. Do any of you have kids? If so how do you find the space and boot capacity?.

3 kids, 7,5 and 2. One child seat, one booster, 7 year old in between. Even with golf clubs in boot plenty of room for school bags on school run. If you need to use a pram/ capsule for a young baby it can get tight as most these days tend to be huge. Rear facing capsules can limit front seat leg room. In other words, as a second car for trips around town it's fine. Wouldn't choose it if we ran only one car.
By the way the kids all go "weeeeeee" when you floor it!

Thanks Paul, 3 kids wow.
That's gives me confidence then. I have two and the Youngest doesn't use pram anymore. Do use use for weekends away?

Nice work Paul :) Mine 2 kids similarly whoop when we hit WOT!

Bruster, I will be buying roof racks (Whisperbar) to go with my existing Thule Luggage Pod which will be handy for weekends away to snow/beach when we are loaded up. I'm also a keen cyclist so bikes carriers x 2 will go on the racks as well. I'm giving up a company car Passat Alltrack wagon soon and making do with one car for 12 months (apart from an old bomb corolla for the local shopping run) so I'm hoping the R is up to the challenge!

Lol..I'm selling my Passat too wagon. This is why I'm worried. I'm going from a huge boot space to a smaller one.

My 9 year old makes growling gear change high rev sounds, perhaps I should tone down my driving a bit with him in the car :)
He asks me why no other cars sound like mine LOL.
