Ouch! a tat expensive for a golf? It’s starting to sound like taking the biscuit when you add on some basic options and on that......

Noticed you get LED lights as standard on the R2, BUT FOR A £29,000 basic car, and then they CHARGE for cruise control AND worst of all ACC as an OPTION!!! For £29k and the fact it's a Golf R I'd expect ACC to be included!!!

The price for the GTI is ok (some say a little high but if you shop about you can get a good deal), but but the price for the Golf R is nuts, I don't think from the front even looks as good as the GTI. I even think the mark V R32 looks better (in blue) and would prob sounds better also.

I was at first toying with the idea of one of the last new R32 runs, a Mrk6GTI or wait for the R. When I got a heads up on the expected price of about £28k to £30k by a VW dealer I went for the Mark 6 GTI (which I think looks way better). My other non Golf option was for a 335i saloon (which ok cost more but with a couple of deals on the cards was not bad value, but I'm a kid at heart and wanted a hot hatch again but with 5 doors for the little one!

It's not can't afford a Golf R. It's actually the feeling getting ripped off which I don't like, and that's not what you're supposed to feel like in a car like the R. :angry: :angry

Just been reading about the Mugen Type R which they're bringing into production.  20 destined for the UK, at... wait for it... £39k!! 

Golf R is a bargain!   :laugh:

Even so when you consider that you can spec the Mugen Type R to be just like the concept.... for £50k!!!

£50, for a Golf = dumb!

For that price you can get a couple of years old pre-facelift lambo gallardo (which if you're after something fast and cool then sorry no contest), also has isofix in the front, perfect for the nusery run!

If you need additonal seating(ish) = 911
