Great find, just configured an R and came out at 50,000 euros  :shocked:

At this stage the U.K. Audi website is a better place to check the likely cost of a Golf. A similar spec Audi should be a couple of grand more than a facelift Golf.

The gap was never as big as a couple of grand between an S3 and an R (the nearest comparison - as the A3 has no GTI equivalent, and the GTD engine comes on a non-sporting trim) - it was a mere £400-odd quid. What the R had in equipment over the S3 was pretty much evens with the cost of the Nappa leather that the S3 has as standard. S3 facelift went up in  price quite a bit, as equipment levels rose on it, hopefully any significant rise on the Golf will accompany some level of spec uplift to justify it as "value for money".

That's the GTD alright. No power changes to the diese by the looks of it.

The wheel choices are a bit uninspiring. The 18's are worse than the current offering. So I'd feel compelled to upgrade to 19's and I'm not a huge fan of the Brescias or santiagos either. Plus they're all diamond cut  :sick:

I do like the new upholstery option. And some of the colour choices. Indium grey is far nicer than limestone and should look great with the GTI red bits. The digital dash and infotainment units do look very cool too.

I'm still saying they will include Ad Blue if no engine changes.

The facelifted A3's 184ps 2.0TDI doesn't have Adblue tech, but the 190ps unit lugging the bigger A4 does. For that reason I don't expect the facelifted GTD to have it.

I really like the look of the 'sevilla' alloys.
They look a b!tch to clean though!

I like the look of the GTD, which is just as well I've gambled on a facelift one for my next car.

VW said at the facelift launch that 7 speed DSG was being introduced across the Golf range "gradually", but didn't say which vehicles would get it first or when.
Here is the VW quote...
"and a new 7-speed DSG (dual clutch gearbox) will gradually replace the 6-speed DSG as a high-efficiency gearbox for the Golf."

If it's like the S3 7 Speed then the 7th is really just an overdrive with very slightly shorter gearing from 1-6.
However with 1st and reverse now on different clutches it makes slow speed manoeuvring quicker.

Here is a graph I did showing the different ratios between the 7 speed s-tronic and the manual in the S3
