Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

Yeah I did look but couldn't find anything, but over the past with manual times they are extremely generous on how fast they are

[samps]

I wouldn't worry about the manufacturer's claim (or some magazine's claim) on 0-100 times. Different tyres, air temp, altitude, road surface, type/age of fuel, driver skill - so many factors that can all sway the results by quite a bit. Does it matter whether you can reproduce someone else's time in a manual? It's torture on your clutch and tyres anyway.

Got excited finiding this switch, reading the manual lead to disappointment.

Alarm monitoring off switch for when towing/on a ferry?
Did you think you had WiFi or something?

Pretty much!

Can anyone recommend any good scratch repairers in Brisbane? The specific forum seems pretty dead.

For sergioscirocco and others, this is about as good and fair a comparo I have read: A45 AMG vs Golf R - Image 8 | Top Gear

Good pick up Michael, balanced review, another win to the R

Thanks mikey1 I have seen it before thanks for share it with us and yes another win for the R, I lost the count already of how many victories this car has.
