The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

Just picked up my Highline yesterday morning.
Very impressed with the level of refinement. It’s soooo quiet on the road. At idle...silent. Not as nippy as my S3, but sure is an easy cruiser and responsive enough around town and the burbs.

Love (love) the interior - superb seats, and great new infotainment system. Huge step up on the S3 MMI Plus.

Colour? I absolutely loved the metallic white, then saw it in the shade and it didn't look good at all, so ended up going with the blue since I've owned 4 new cars to date and they've all been silver/grey, figured it's time for a change.

So ordered a MK 7.5 Golf R in Lapiz Blue, fully optioned on the weekend. Currently have the Mk6 3 door R. (Which is going nuts on car sales! Getting SMS'd every hour!).

Dealer wouldn't budge on pricing and the wait time was 4-5 months to get one with a sunroof. Ended up buying the demo I test drove for $60k including all on roads and front tinting. (Has done 700km). Had a fleet salesman I was talking to tell me he could get me one for $57k today (Following a call I put in from the dealership they didn't answer on the weekend!).

Is $60k a good price?

What KM should I drive it easy until? 1500?

Didn't want to go Wolfie as I don't like the wheels or grey interior funnily enough. We're all different! I like it being as black in the cabin as possible

Looks great, looking at the same package and colour but including the R Line pack. Any reason you didn’t include it and do you mind advising what you paid for it?

In the wild? No. In the dealership, Yes. Looks astounding outside in the sun, but once you see it inside it looks like it's covered in road grime/brake dust.
The sole reason I opted against that colour personally.
