New Project car ordered! VW Golf Mk8 R Performance Pack

[Exonian]

Nobody else that have ordered?,  , pretty expensive toy with the new tax and stuff

There may well be people on the R forum that have put in an order by now.
Times are indeed strange with too many uncertainties for us UK based members but the price, or rather actual cost, of the R is very high here and the car has actual real competition now instead of a market niche almost to itself like the mk7 did (the 7R was also comparatively good value when launched).
I think the 8R will become the darling of the press and YouTube crowd so popularity will increase once there are a few around.

Although the configuration I would want on a Golf R MK8 would be a bit too expensive even for my palette, I am still seriously tempted, and supect I might end up getting one later in to next year (2021) once I know more about whether the Edition 45 is too good to miss out on or not, what is going on with the Pandemic and how things go after brexit has been around for a while.  Our prime minister seems to be focussed on bumbling around and completely wrecking all that was OK or good about the UK.

;v

Agree it is not the best time to buy right now, but still hope the world not ends now..

What about you prime minster haricut?, is it a statement?.  :We outside Uk think it looks a bit funny.. . Sorry!

Back to topic!, Mine will cost like 42 000 Pounds!, that is pretty good?..

Most of us think Boris Johnson is a bit of a bumbling idiot at the best of times, and to be honest his hair is really strange.  he has been likened to being the UK version of Donald Trump right down to the strange hair.

I don't think the world will be ending right now, just waiting for all vaccines to be a given and the the world to return to some form of normality before purchasing a new car, so I can enjoy the car as it depreciates rather than buy it and not use as I am currently working from home and the only journey I do right now is around 1 mile each way once a week.  But cannot wait for the time when i can use the car as I would like to, and then start looking at buying my next new car. 

Hope you enjoy the Golf R 'Wide' I currently have Golf R MK7 and still get a smile on my face when drive and look at it.

Didn´t dare to compare with Trump  , but you are...

Back to topic!

Hope this car will deliver!, Love my GTI everyday i drive!.

If its anything like my current stock, Golf R MK7 to drive at the very least, then I am sure it will deliver, as my Golf R is the first car I have not really had an overwhelming itch to replace it with a new car in a couple years.  I am now in my 4th year of ownership and still love driving it whenever I get in to the car.  Which is why the next car I buy, has to be something extra special to replace it.

Thank you Automann!!, this is what you want to read when you have ordered a Mk8 R..

Switched from the Golf 8 R to our Mk 7.5 Performance😬🏁...honestly I have to admit that there’s a clear difference between those two cars on pretty much all aspects. Yes, the 7.5 feels rock solid and well-built, but noise isolation, handling, transmission and engine are superior in the Golf 8 R🧐...We all have argued about the infotainment of the Golf 8, but switching back to the Golf 7 also doesn’t feel right anymore😅🙈...I think I just get used to new tech too quickly😜 #vw #volkswagenr #volkswagen #vwr #golfr #golfrmk7 #golfrmk75 #vwgolfr #golf7r #golf8r #automanntv
