Wolfsburg Edition Golf R

[kamold]

Where are the trim rattles?
I've almost fully disassembled and reassembled my interior at some point and the only issue I have is with a rattle from the tail light sensor housing which I keep under control with a folded square of paper.

I bought an R36 in 2010 and have been very happy with it except for persistent trim rattles/squeaks (Not real bad but I am a bit fussy). Great otherwise.

We bought a new BMW 328i M-Sport in 2013 for Elizabeth.
1) No "soul"
2) Those horrible runflat tyres - Lots of flats.
3) BMW aftersales service. Liz was left stranded 500 km from home for 3 days with yet another flat tyre and BMW roadside assist would not help.
4) Unbelievably bad headlights. We take the R36 when we have to travel at night.
5) Very uncomfortable seats - We take the R36 whenever we travel more than 100kms or we would be crippled. BMW needs to look at VW and Audi seats.
I have just ordered a Golf R Wolfsburg Wagon and hope that we can be as happy as we are with the R36.
We may replace the BMW with a Golf R hatch if we are happy with the Wolfie.
BMW - Never again.

Plus the interior is just so damn ugly compared to the R (my opinion only, each to their own).

At $65k to $68k, an S3 would have to enter the frame wouldn't it? Gets all the plus sides of the "VW" equation with the even better interior and all the Wolfe fruit standard. Plus available as sedan if the Audi hatchback look doesn't work for you

Thanks LibraR, Audi has come to mind but TTRS, not really keen of S3, interior its superb but can't be match a Golf R Wolfsburg on what on offer. It has been 3 days since I tested BMW M140I and have decided to that way. Thanks everyone for your inputs it has meant a lot, both mind and heart are telling me to go with a beemer.

I thought of the S3 of course when considering the Golf R Wagon but its load area is too short for me but most importantly no memory driver's seat and no possibility of optioning it either.

Good choice. I was sooooo close on an m140. Just never had a Golf R but had a 335 which was awesome.

Hard to go wrong with any of them I think, so congrats and enjoy your new ride!
