Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[samps]

I test drove a manual S3 yesterday. It's a beautiful machine but suffers a bit too much turbo lag for my liking. My daily driver is a 2010 GTI with APR stage 2. The S3 didn't seem any quicker, although on paper it probably has more power. It just doesn't seem as much fun. My car has the DSG and I think I'd really miss the exhaust crackle too.

That would be fixed by getting the auto.
Also could you imagine apr stage 2 on the golf R/s3

Having gone from APR stg2 GTI to golf R, I would agree that it's not as fun. Maybe m135i or a45 for out right thrills. I don't think going to AWD is necessarily the way to get more fun esp with haldex (unless the car is mental like a45).

I think "downgrading" would give heaps more fun, such as a fiesta ST. Would love one...

I hope by being able to turn stability and traction control off completely with the new R (well apparently) some fun might be had, even if it is just going to a track for a day here or there

My next car will be a downgrade for those reasons.

A bit over pummeling the road into submission.
