2018 Golf TCR and dealer information ?

[king monkey]

The GTD was re-added to the configurator yesterday evening, so they are seemingly still updating the website... but no sign of the TCR... but stranger still there’s no sign of the R even though dealers are saying they are taking orders again.

A shambles.

Totally agree. They haven’t got a clue what they’re doing. Even though the R has been off the website for ages I think it’s been available to order, if you can wait 9 months.

I have had both GTI PP and Golf R and can confirm you will like the Golf R.  Also both the GTI Performance and Golf R are great cars and very capable in their own way.  I usually get the itch to change the car after a year but have not had any kind of urge to change in the Golf R I currently own, it is that good.  Also the GTI PP I owned before it was a great car and I owned it for at least 3 years.   The reason some think the Golf R is a bore fest is because it is a really solid capable car that makes your drive really effortless and easy, while in the same breath rather quick.  I have had hot hatches for a few decades now and the Golf R still puts the biggest smile on my face when i drive....  I guess it all just comes down to personal preference and what you look for in a car.  It's not going to please everyone all of the time.

On a positive. I sold my 5 month old GTI when I heard about the TCR back in August.
Since then I’ve had a BMW i8 and a BMW M2 Competition, so it’s not all bad waiting for a TCR.

The dealer still has my Golf GTI for sale, It’s beautiful with only 2,000 miles on the clock.

Latest info on twitter from volkswizard.

Just heard from David Lay at Murray VW, Newton Abbot, Devon (the chap who made the Clubsport S purchase so special) that #GTI #TCR is available to order from 21/2.  It’s not something I can see ex-CSS owners getting too excited about TBH but I am sure it will be a great car #vw

Make of it what you will.

Gotta life Vw uk live chat. Just told me that they aren’t the best to know about new releases. I should ask my local dealer. 😂

Press release tomorrow apparently. Don’t hold your breath. I don’t want to be responsible for any fatalities.

The R was added back onto the configurator today, so it wouldn't surprise me if the TCR gets added soon if that engine is now WLTP compliant... then we can all gasp/laugh at the cost of the thing!
