£2200 on the R32 mate 

£28500 + £2200 =

+ DSG
+ Parking sensors
+ Lux pack
+ Winter pack
+ RNS510

= £33-4k (ish)

Those Recaros look mint... if you go forward a page on that site, there's the new R-Line (in white):

Maybe dilutes the R brand a bit. May not come to UK though.

Apples and oranges mate. With the Golf R you getting brand new car... associated peace of mind... etc... etc...

But, have to admit, £33-4K is ALOT for just a Golf.

Its not just a golf, I hear too many people say that about the GTI too. Its far more than just a golf.

It is just a golf, albeit a fast one. Its a car made predominantly to go the the shops and drive to work, then tweaked with a different engine and badged differently.

If it was purpose built, only the GTI existed, then it would not be just a golf. We just own tweaked shopping cars though mate.

Faster yep, but a golf doesnt have 4WD, doesnt have half as much of the looks the gti/r's have, or the superb interior.

  Have to agree. But even an RS4 is just a tweaked shopping car. Personally, that's what I like about them!

Why not buy standard Golf's or the bottom of the range Audi then ? If they aint fast enough then remap them.
