I would have thought it would also be a 5 door.

£28.5k stock though  :shocked: I hope it comes well loaded as stock.

I think we both know you got two hopes of that  :rolleyes:

I know  :sad:

Really impressed with how this seems to be shaping up. The MkVI has grown on me but the GTI still isn't enough of a change from my MkV to ever warrant it in my opinion, plus I love my MkV and plan to keep it.

The R however gives me something to get excited about that isn't BMW or Audi.

It's enough for me to hold out on putting that deposit down on the GTi.

With the extras i put on the GTi it bumped it up just over 26k. If it's 1-2k more i might reconsider what to go for.

Had my mk4 since it was 3 months old and the reason why i hung on to her was because i could never find a suitable replacement. Didn't want the mk5 r32 because it looked like the government were going to cripple the v6 on tax.

Going to keep a close eye on this topic!

Some confirmed details here:
http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/243138/
266bhp
236lbft of tourque
New hydraulic 4WD
0-62mph 5.7s (Man), 5.5s (DSG)
155mph limited top speed
35kg lighter than Mk5 R32
CO2 199g/km
Combined econnomy 33.2mpg (versus 26.4mpg for Mk5 R32)
ESP with track settting

Expected price £28,500  :shocked:

Hmm...so you are getting about 30 BHP more than a GTI actually at the wheels?
Easier to drive hard off the line due to the 4WD fair enough...but more weight...and not 'that' much more torque.

It had better drive well, or I can see a remapped GTI being a good option.

Rear LED lights look cool. :drool:
Brake calipers are black (not blue like Mk5 R32), but have nice R logo on 'em.  :smiley:
And it's wearing what look like Pirello P Zero tyres in these pics. :cool:

I'm impressed. At £28500 though I think my extras list is going to be short!

28.5k is treading on the toes of the s3. Surely must be a little cheaper?

But then again, VW's pricing does seem to be 1k too much across the range!

TBH having had a MK4 and now a MK5 Id rather have an S3 than this.

There is also the fact that I wont be able to afford this but still lol
