Golf R

[R32UK]

Just wondering about why is the GOLF R so low specced interior wise?It comes with a RCD310 unit surely the RDC510 should have been standard on a car of such calibre?The IPOD/aux adapter is also an option thats standard on a peugeot 207 for crying out loud!

This is what should have been standard:
*RCD510 individual radio
*Ipod/aux adapter
*Vienna leather sport seats

Agreed but they know you will pay for it

I just hope VW is reading all this. With any luck, they'll get nervous about pricing the R too high. But then again, only 500 are earmarked for Englanders.

A friend who knows a bloke in Germany, whose girlfriend's sister goes out with someone who works for VW etc. etc. and he has apparently driven the Golf R with DSG. All the tweaks and turns have delivered something that is truly sensational to drive and blisteringly fast point to point - much easier to place in corners than S3. They have expended real time and effort with the ACC to improve handling. So it looks like this will be a required option. Brakes also uprated. But it is the gearbox that has been most fettled, making the power very usable. Can't wait for the proper road tests.

Im going to be blatantly honest here.... I badly want one!!! and would be willing to pay for one

Im sorry... and I know thats just what VW want the barstewards have reduced me to this

Well I am happy to keep my R32 until a Golf R some down second hand to around the 20k mar. Even at that, I still fear I will miss my V6 rumble. I would need to work out some way of keeping my R32 too

That's the engine they used as the starting point for the TT-RS. It's a good motor but doubt we'll see it here in emissions-concious Europe. We get the twin-charged 1.4. Woo-hoo.
