Golf R Review

[R32UK]

If the scirocco R is anything to go by the Golf R will be too harsh and crude.
The Sunday Times has just awarded the Sciroccco R 3 stars.
It gives the 197bhp version 5 stars.

You owners of Mk6 GTI's might just have a better car than the Golf R.
Rather like Mk5 GTI owners have a better car than the R32.

flawed statement really as you have never owned the later

A 1 hour test drive is the same as owning it though remember

You forgot to mention what EVO say about the Scirocco R in their car of the year feature 

They tested it side by side against some pretty good cars too.

I don't buy EVO.  I find it just a little smug for my taste.

i thought there was a G6gti specific forum 

Don't you mean a G5.5gti forum

Seriously though, I remember the exact same thing between the MKIV and MKV forum and it all ended happily ever after. Just get used to it, 'cos it ain't gonna change!

I dont see the same happening mate, the mk4 owners realised they owned the inferior car quite quickly! Not enough difference between mk5 and 6.

You are soooo, sooooo right

aaaah the sunday times... the word on all things automotive   
i'll take auto express, autocar, evo and what cars positive reviews as more authoritative 

[JellyCat]

lot's of these car reviews are bollocks anyway as it comes down to personal preference etc.

yes.... but... 1 negative review vs 4 positive reviews suggests it could be rather good?

Heres hoping!!
Thats the downer to ordering a car that NO ONE has driven or reviewed yet!
Having said that - unless all the magazines give it 1 star and say its pathetic, I'll be sticking with it!
If it gets ABSOLUTELY SLATED, then I may consider losing my £1000 deposit!
