Golf R in pictures

[Snoopy]

Theres a few things i don't like about the golf R and why i won't own one.
1) The piano black trims/grill are not to my taste.
2) The black mirrors make it look like a base model!
3) the cloth seats white sections, not practical and 
4) extra cost of ownership
5) centre exit exhaust stops it been practical for me. I trailer the mk1 & Riley elf sometimes, go buy engines,gearboxes, cars etc with trailers, Goto the tip with a trailer(not going to fill my 30K car i paid for with my money with garden crap/oil/car spares and poo).

+ a smaller boot than a Polo!

+ a smaller boot and much less comfort for back seat passangers than a Polo!

Smaller boot - fair enough...
but inside the cabin of the Golf R is the same as a Golf GTI - so why like a Polo??

ETTO though - I prefer the look of the Golf R, so I bought one!

I agree with Snoopys No.3 and No.4
The white bits on the seats aren't great, and it DOES cost too much!

Its was not actually the cost new i ment in 4 (as thats been talked about so much). Its servicing (heldex, cambelt, brakes), Insurance, future road tax, fuel, tires(4wd) etc etc.

The cost new part, I actually nearly cancelled my GTI a few time and i worked out how much extra an R would have cost me over what i was paying for the GTI it came to 10K (I had to have leather due to the Rs cloth seats!) So not small change but i did look at them as an option but im not a big heldex fan. I decided the scirocco R in blue from stock if i cancelled was what i was going to go for.

Did it feel lighter and more nimble due to been lighter than the golf?

I hope so too when I see it in the flesh.  I'm starting to get a bit nervous since its only 2 weeks away and I don't really know what it'll look like!!

what engine isit in the golf R?

Basically the Audi S3 unit. Similar to the SEAT Leon Cupra R, VW Scirocco R. Similar with a few slight differences to the mk5 Edition 30/Pirelli engine and SEAT Leon Cupra unit.

Bet you can't wait. I have the same power as the R (it's fantastic - and I used to own a 400hp e39 M5...), but I could really do with the 4WD
