So now we all know the prices of the R versus the GTI, who's going for an R and who's going for a GTI?  :huh:

Given that VW are only allocating 500 Rs to the UK, it may just be that all 500 UK owners are already active GolfGTI forum members.  :grin:

As for me, R all the way, baby:

- 5-door
- DSG
- Rising blue or Black
- ACC
- 19" Talladega wheels
- Leather on standard sports seats
- Sun roof
- SatNav
- Winter pack
- Luxury pack
- Cruise control
- Rear reversing camera
- Front & rear parking sensors

 :cool:

What's wrong with a normal GTI?
This R special is a lot of money for a heavier car.

Give me a normal GTI with no options (except (for me) DSG) any day.

It's not a hard choice at all, you either can or cant afford them.

GTI all the way for me though, The R is just way too expensive and more expensive to run.

I think the GTI is an exceptionally well balanced and all-round capable car. So I'm buying the R.

I bet you stood in front of a mirror after saying that thinking you were well cool ?

R is good, but its still just a Golf, and still just a shopping car. Don't forget that.

Oh how could you say that Kev. You know the Golf is the best car ever built bar none  :wink:  Plus our local Waitrose has a really slippery exit, so I need the 4WD to get out into traffic safely.
