What's the R ride like compared to the GTI? Obviously more power and 4MOTION plus a bit more weight. I mean, in comfort mode for example is it more or less the same as the GTI? Or is it noticeably bumpier across all driving modes?

^that is from an episode a while back. Not the one that hasn't been shown yet due to his sacking.

I would say my golf 7 R on 19s is at least as comfortable as my previous mk6 gti on 17s.

I really want to see the Top Gear Golf R vs STI, anyone know if we'll get to see it anytime soon?

Was at my local dealership on the weekend and my sales contact mentioned (unconfirmed) that there could be a limited release of Golf R estates/wagons coming our way in QTR 3. Could be limited to only 200 units nationally.

People have been putting orders down already. I believe the due date for them was mid to late September.
