Vic newbie from the country

[heyspud]

G'day all,

i have 2 loves in life, touring in the 4wd with the wife and exploring this wonderful country we have offroad, the places you just can't get to in a car, but haven't done much on the tarmac, i have friends that race hill climb and love the long overnight drives which is addictive. there's nothing better then just going for a drive somewhere.

i'm currently in N15 sss pulsar which is primary my daily, and i thought it's about time i upgraded to 1 of those cars on my bucket list, you know the ones that are out of reach financially at some point or not practicable for the purpose at the time.
Well i thought i ain't getting any younger and its time to tick one of them off being the golf R. i'm in the market for one and have set my budget which is around 2015/16 models.

i'm here to research all those horror stories I've been told about the dsg's and other problems and everyone telling me to stay away from the golfs entirely. i figured theres always more to it, and possibly specific to certain yr and models.... and to make a better choice for when i buy the first golf R.

looking forward to chatting with you all.
