Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[dsuhiti]

I find it funny how this thread has turned into a S3 thread. So it should, the S3 is simply a bargain. I think VW will be climbing a steep hill going by early indications.

It doesn't hit my G-spot in the slightest! Golf wagons have been poor sellers in the past, especially the Mk6. The R36 wagon flew the R wagon flag proudly for VW, but VW has ruined the Passat with old man ultra conservative styling, so resurrecting the R in the new model will probably never happen, which probably explains the Golf R wagon experiment.

So anyone get pricing on a fully loaded R yet? Roof/leather/driver assist/DSG.
Pricing with the VW corporate discount?
I'm leaning towards limestone grey this time around.

Only seeing two exhaust pipes instead of the four on the hatch... not sure how legit this actually is... but would be awesome if it was!

I agree to a point. The Mk6 R was a solid sales performer, and if Audi will steal sales like Mercedes have with their runaway hit, the A45 AMG, then VW dealers will need to be flexible, which can only benefit those who prefer an R.

DrK, you haven't been taking your medicine! If you have been a good patient, you would have read in previous posts that no pricing has been released yet, and the Golf R will be excluded from the corporate program.

Word on the street has the new Golf R having the same 206kW/380Nm engine spec as the S3 (i.e. they have both been detuned the same amount for Australian conditions).

As a few others have mentioned pricing not out until launch on the 12th April (same day as GTI PP launch).

And apparently the R will be coming with LED number plate lights.... but will wait and see if the cars actually get delivered with LEDs or globes.

The GTI PP has the LED number plate lights confirmed - other forum members have checked - so the R will be fine

[Alex31]

I highly doubt the mk7 would not have LED tail lights when the mk6 had LED tail lights. It would be a step backwards IMO
