Just had a call from my dealer, they have a car with my specs (grey with all options). Only options available are leather, sunroof and driver assistance package. 19" and keyless start are standard. Expected release is end of April.
She was unsure on pricing but said she expected it to be mid-60's with the options.

I would assume so. It is on the GTI and would want to be with 19s as standard

If its mid $60"s for the R, S3 here I come..

On a rough like-for-like basis, an Audi S3 will be approx $9K more. If this is acceptable, then buy the car with the more prestigous badge!

What is the relevance of this link to the new Golf R?Originally Posted by Ryan_R

I've just been sent the spec summary. Of note, 19" Cadiz rims only (no 18" option or the Pretoria style), no Discover Pro (only the 5.8" Discover Media), no Nappa leather, and Tornado Red is now available (along with Pure White, Lapiz Blue, Reflex Silver, Limestone Grey, and Deep Black). The standard trim is a cloth/alcantara mix. Keyless entry (KESSY) is standard, along with the colour MFD (MFD Premium).
The only options are leather, sunroof, and the driver assistance package (consisting of active cruise, front assist, city emergency brake, and proactive occupant protection system). Park Assist 2 is not available on the R.
No information on pricing as of yet.

If I'm going to be forced to take 19s I would want the Pretoria's. Not happy about no 18s.
Not fussed about sunroof or Park Assist 2 - if you can't reverse park a bloody Golf you shouldn't be driving a car!
I'll try the leather before I buy but tempted by the active cruise.
Does the Mk7 have memory seats? I hate it when my wife drives mine. It takes about a week to get the seat back were I like it. If leather has memory I will take it.
Will see what stereo options there are. Looks like aftermarket subwoofer needed again.
Looking for:- RS4 B7 Avant.
Current:- Amarok V6 Sportline; Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD
Previous - Mk 6 R manual; Mk 7 R manual; Passat 130 TDi Wagon. Mk 7.5 Wolfsburg Wagon.

It precursors how VW/Audi may charge users for the Pro online infotainment systems when they are eventually available in Australia in the S3 and R.
