Hi there, does anyone know if the Australian R's come with the alloy subframe like the S3?

Not sure if this was mention among the 300+ posts but does the current Golf R MY16 only come with Vienna Leather seats, no options now?

Just the leather.

Man, that kinda sucks. I mean it's good it's in standard price but cloth is so much better. Leather just fades and is so prone to wear and tear in the long run plus it appears to look cheaper then mk6

Really? My 2006 GTI leather seats were in great condition when we traded it in. Expect no different for the R but time will tell. Plus my leather couch is also still in great condition...doesn't stain either.

I must admit that I had decided early on that I didn't like the leather enough to buy it as an option as I preferred the 2-tone cloth seats. However, having it as standard is nice. Every car I've owned since 2010 has had leather and it's much easier to look after with kids than cloth seats.

I was sitting at the traffic lights before in a lit intersection due to it being dark waiting to turn right, I look in my rear vision mirror and say to myself that looks like an R. I keep following it and as it passes me my jaw dropped, I don't believe it was modified or anything, but it was pure white and so freaking clean. It definitely looked to have had some quality paint protection done on it. As it went through the intersection all the lights around just further enhanced the look of it and the Cadiz rims looked excellent. Made me want a pure white one. It was so striking! I still love my limestone grey choice, but wow. That white was super nice.
