Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[bxpressiv]

Have just spoken to my Dealer and she was nice enough to swap the one i ordered for a MY18.5 so i can get the Dynaudio and the Enhanced Driver Assistance package.
Might have to pay an extra $1k but totally worth it

That is awesome, I'm sort of on the fence on a fully optioned GTI vs the R and if they're options in the builds coming in it may tip me in that direction. Good of the dealer to get back to you with the extra option to change.

Is something different in the enhanced DAP?

From my understanding, the driver assistance package for the MY18.5 has the following extra features across all Golf models:

Traffic Jam Assist

Emergency assist

Lane assist with adaptive lane guidance

From what i have read, the DQ381 is that good that some folk as saying it is worth the upgrade to the R based on that one feature alone....
Not sure if it will be that good as i am very happy with the DQ250 in the TDI but once i have had it for a few months ill report back

For the R, it would only be TJA new as standard?? My car already had Emergency Assist and Lane Assist with adaptive Lane guidance I think

Does anyone know why the R with DAP doesn’t get park assist?

Apparently to do with the lack of space in the boot area for further sensors, probably from the haldex stuff?

Probably same reason the R doesn’t get a boot floor that can be placed down a further level like a GTI or regular golf can.

So my dealer (Who has been excellent to work with) has swapped the Golf R i first ordered for a MY18.5 Golf R White Silver DSG with DAP and Dynaudio.
She said it should be here on the 3rd of April.
I think the little bit extra wait time is totally worth it, Was originally going to be here by the end of this month.

I can set the boot floor in my Mk7.5 MY18 R wagon to two different levels. I have it set to the lower height to give me more room, but if I wanted to store stuff above the spare tyre but below the floor I could set it at the higher level. I don't know if the R hatch is similar.

Mm must be a hatch only issue then. I guess the question is do the wagon Rs get park assist?
