Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[AdamD]

Well the price for the Golf R is out in the UK, and its not much cheaper than the S3!

In the previous (Mk6 / 8P) iteration, the Golf R was more expensive than the S3 in the UK. You can't make too many assumptions about the future local price from the UK price.

Their spec defaults and offerings are often different to ours, but it's still a good reason to pick up the S3 since it arrives here sooner.

the new s3 looks great

any thoughts on when R pricing and spec will be out?

Trying to decide whether to bite the bullet on a S3 or hold out ... hmmm

If UK pricing is anything to go by then I suspect once the local pricing is announced that there will be a flood of S3 orders....

The latest info I have is that we should have details released in the first quarter of 2014.

if the S3 sedan is coming, then the R pricing is going to have to be something special for me to not go with the audi.

I will definetely be cross shopping between the Audi S3 and the Golf R , being a cash purchase i hope i can for once get a good deal and screw the dealer lol

Also having a RX7 SPIRIT R TYPE A and a Golf R would be too many R types

How can you screw the dealer? They won't sell you a car at a loss.

This.
The dealer actually makes more money from financing so i would expect to get a good deal just because you have cash.

Maybe 10+ years ago but the game has changed now.
