R20T

For me this is the first Golf I have been realy really excited about since the launch of the MKIII VR6. If I had the money I'd be straight down the dealers with a deposit.

However being poor I shall have to wait about 15 years till one of these drops into my kind of price bracket :-(

WOW!  £28.5k seems a tad steep considering an S3 starts at £26k and you'll likely get a decent discount off that.  Plus the Golf doesn't have leather as stanard and the S3 does.

I was pretty much swayed into taking the Golf rather than the Roc, but the pricing structure might push me back to the Roc!

By the time I add on DSG, Folding mirrors, Reverse Cam, Dynaudio, Bigger wheels and Metallic Paint - not forgetting my retrofit RNS-510 & Bluetoth - this could end up costing about £33k.
Seems a tad extreme for a Golf... considering my ED30 cost about £23.5k new with most of the above!

I have a deposit down anyway - so can decide when I see the options list.

I like it. It will be over £30k to get a decent spec though which is second hand RS4 and BMW 335i territory, both of which are better!

Im excited too but its just too expensive. 31k by the time I am done speccing leather, 19s and a lux pack. Think of what else I can get for that money!!

I can buy my R32 out of finance in a few months for 10k and still have 21k left over for a second car.........or....21k for a second hand MKVI Golf R in a couple of years I think.....

Or turbo it and blow away the R20 and most other things

Some good pictures from Frankfurt here, showing amongst other things the optional Recaros:

Yeah! I might well look into one of these! Recaros are a must!

I bet they will be a £1k + option.

£2200 on the R32 mate
