Car magazine golf R review

[Booski]

All pretty positive - 4 star
obviously they mention the high cost

they discuss the Gti vs R
"the R is a better entertainer than the Gti: faster, more exciting, more playful and yet still ingrained with all the qualities you expect of a golf. Does that add up to the £5915 difference? Probably. But £30k? Maybe not."

[Snoopy]

Did they do much of a test or just a quick brief one?

[p3eps]

Damn... I was in the newsagent today and never noticed it!
I'll have to get it tomorrow and add it to my collection!

[Chins]

Well Autocar has the R vs the Meg vs the Ford RS tomorrow. Should make interesting reading

Yeah, from the look of the front cover it's that poverty-spec red R again!

[p3eps]

Cool... I'll wait till after work then and hopefully they'll actually have their Autocar on the shelves by then (unlike last week!)

it's an interesting read 12 page spread not all about the R as they are driving the megane rs250 and the 911GT3??

I'll guess the result:

1. Megane 250
2. Golf R
3. Focus RS

Golf R would be number 1 if it was £5K cheaper and they'd tested a decent spec one (i.e. Leather, DSG, ACC, etc).

by decent spec you mean YOUR SPEC?

If they'd added that to the spec it would have cost ANOTHER £5k 

Ok, not quite - but £4k!
