finally picking up my SE Lapiz blue R this weekend, wouldn't have minded the TY but having owned an austin yellow M4 a few cars back & having never owned a blue car I thought it would be a nice change, just organised my tinter to go out & paint the windows black as per usual yesterday here's a little teaser, cars already booked in for stage 2+ at IAH in 4 weeks time, will lower + spacers in the next week or two aswell

First VW I've ever owned so pretty excited

Congrats! And welcome to the 400!

Just keep an eye on when the wheel is on full lock for a clicking sound. You will hear it with windows down and around roundabouts or in carparks.

If you do hear it, take it in to get fixed under warranty.

Just FYI I can't hear the famous click noise, however, only my passenger door trim LED strip works, none of the others are lighting up in the car under any circumstances so I will have that looked at, also the Pre-delivery "detail" was probably the worst detail I've seen in my life & having been in carsales over 10 years I've delivered over 500 new + used cars & never seen something like this lol, car was COVERED in swirl marks, we used to call it "showroom detail" so it's going back to the dealer for that & they've scratched the **** out of the black trimming between the windows so that aswell..

I'm over in Europe - just ordered a 2019 Golf R Variant. Spain spec, which isn't amazing but comes with enough to keep me happy (pano sunroof, black roof rails, black mirrors, alcantara seats, 19" black Pretorias). September delivery all going well!

Sounds good to me - teamed with what exterior color?

So I woke up on Saturday morning to a push notification from the Carsales app. Dealers have dropped the price of 2019 Golf R to $54,990 on-road.

Quick squiz at the finances and wifey and I realised we could trade our 2018 Golf GTI Original for about $20k, pay off its loan and only have to pay $200 more per month to be sitting in an R. 4 hours later at VW Berwick and we had a signed contract for an R with Dynaudio in Tornado Red plus tint, door sill protectors and black mirror caps for $54,990 on-road and we got $22k for the GTI. Hopefully gets delivered in 3 weeks.

Not bad considering the GTI is 15 months old with knackered tyres and 35k kms on the ODO.

Hi Golf trackers,

Is it possible to confirm the selected options and track the history of a dealer demo Golf R with the VIN, engine number and dealer Stock Number?

Cheers Al

Today the 31st of July 2019 we took delivery of our Pure White MK7.5 MY19.5 R Wagon with all options.

We also purchased the VW 5 year Service Care Plan.

Took the R to Mount Tamborine and back home. The LED headlights are amazing. Tried modes, Race. Comfort, Normal.

I drove up the mountain and it felt like it was a level road, no sense of climbing a mountain. Felt strange. The wife drove back.

I prefer the drivers seat. So much to learn about the R. Will have to read all the information in the handbook and on here as well.

I took HW100 Gav's advice, warm the R up, then drive it hard!

Be back soon, cheers Al

On Tuesday we picked up our new MY19.5 Golf R in red with Dynaudio, tint, and white on black plates. We'd ordered the black mirror caps but the dealer forgot to fit them so we have to wait 3 weeks but it's not the end of the world.

Went up to Sassafras for lunch and enjoyed lovely quiet twisty roads. Even though we've got to run it in first it was obvious there was a lot of power on tap compared to the GTI Original it replaced.

William Fu from Berwick VW was brilliant and I'd highly recommend you ask for him if you're looking to buy.
