Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

Nice work Sekkas: I think $10k less is a bit optimistic (compared to "base' S3 @ $60k + ORC), smart money seems be forecasting $52-$55k + ORC pretty well specced

What was the price of the Golf mr6 R? Wasn't it around the $50k, but then you had to tick a few options to bring it up to spec, which got it up towards the mid $60k for a well spec vehicle.

So I would say, their best bet is to fully load the car, and a price tag of no greater than $55k.

Mk6 was 49990 no on roads etc. Manual.

Couldn't resist this. Sorry for going off topic but here, a leather clad Veedub goes up against a prestigious Range Rover Evoque

I paid 55k for a fully loaded MK7 GTI. If you could get a fully loaded R for 1 or 2k (or even under 60k) more i would be pretty annoyed at myself and would most likely cancel my order and try and get an R!

Same - I'll be pretty upset too but I doubt a fully loaded R will come in that close. Having said that I'm completely happy with my gti and don't need the extra power

A fully loaded MK6 R was close to $70K (over $70 if you had the Recaro seats) when brand new so I doubt you have anything to worry about.
I'd be surprised if the R is available for under $60K with on-road costs. Even then, it would only be an entry level R with no extras.

What is a "fully loaded" GTI? If it means the Performance Pack model, then $55K is probably a fair price, as the R with the lot will be about $65K in Victoria.

$47850 including onroads and Dynaudio for me.

Which means over 2 years and 10 months and 100,000kms I lost around 16k. I reckon that is pretty damn good.

Have you tried looking under the couch?
