New TCR?

Slightly slow off the mark there aren't you? It's gone beyond new to out of production and nine months beyond that.

Maybe it's new in Aus    :undecided:

VW Australia website shows the mk7.5 as the current Golf and the mk8 as ‘coming soon’, so the TCR probably is considered to be a new model in the Golf line up in Australia.

Good review there Matt, made me want to go outside and drive my TCR. That is until I opened my door to realise it’s not sunny and warm like Oz. No it’s cold and wet outside. Close door and go back inside with a nice cuppa tea and watch some more TCR vids or look for some subtle mods for it😎

I have seen lots of reviews recently from Australia as you’ve just started to get them, same with South Africa too I believe.

Do they still make them in Germany for the Australian Market then?

Just had a look Matt, and enjoyed the exuberance, its a little how feel when driving the TCR, but being British, mine is more the carrying of a permanent knowing smile appreciation,   :grin:

As someone stated, you preaching to the converted here in UK, personally had mine 14 months now, and with a recent history of back to back Audi Quattro, a MK 7 GTD and then an R, the TCR is very much the best of the bunch, agreeing that its the best the GTI has looked in the grey and black complements, and in terms of fun, its all the pace of the R with GTI agility and engagement.

Never kept a car beyond 3 years but its likely this is going to be the exception as even thinking of letting go brings that sinking feeling when lose something love.
