Black Golf R, 19" Alloys - Crow Road VW, Glasgow.
« on: 06 February 2010, 18:32 »
Full leather interior, that's all I know!

For those of you who want to test drive, or just drool, an R...
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

I seen one in Hawco VW Inverness. Graphite blue with 18's. I'd have the GTI any day of the week because for 32K and up VW are taking the mickey. Didn't realise it was an R until I spied the tiny little R badge. Looks terribly cheap and nasty from the front and don't get me started on the alloys, regardless if there 18's or 19's, black or silver. It's certainly not a patch on the mk6 GTI or its older brother, the R32. Rant over......

That's a lot easier to get to for me. Will keep an eye out there, thanks.

You need to drive one  :wink: :wink:   not look at it  :grin:

Now how did EVO mag summarise it,  oh yes    :laugh:

"the Golf R feels sharper, angrier and a whole lot faster than the current GTI

All in all then the Golf R is a yet another hugely impressive addition to the hot hatch Premier League........The Golf R has also got terrific pace and tractability, coupled to a memorable effervescent engine and a sport biased chassis that exudes confidence, composure and perhaps most importantly genuine enthusiasm. Golf R - same game, bigger balls."

I didn't saying anything about how it drives because I don't know. I'm sure it drives great but not 32K+ great. It seems to me that VW have spent all there budget making a car that drives good but didn't hold enough pennies back to style it to suit. VW has really had recession in mind when styling this car because it is far too bland and this is from a person who prefers a car which is minimum in styling.
