Golf R in pictures

[James Gould]

I'm just not sure about the look but it does look good in white  -  not sure about the blue colour a lot of people choose  -  I just think (and maybe it's because I've never had a Gti) that it looks like it's sporting some after-market kit, that the Gti is more the genuine article, that the R, from a distance, could be an 'ordinary' Golf  -  all that said, chances are that if I'd had a Gti Mark V, I'd have gone for the R (if I could have got my head around spending £35K on a Golf....which is doubtful). Anyway, you enjoy it, that's all that matters....

It lacks thrills, but not presence. My daughters do think it looks a tad Chav

You should have gone for the blue, Chins. It's the fastest colour. Rumour has it that the blue ones have an extra 20 BHP.

It does look ordinary, but I wouldnt piss it off.

The inside is: Oh dreary, dreary me!
The outside is: Is that an aftermarket kit on a standard Mk6?
Then pay nearly £35k for it and you can definitely get a job in Gordon's cabinet! :embarassed:

MY local Vw dealer this past weekend has sold 2 R's!!, one at 38k and one at 34k.

Why should Vw sell them any cheaper if people are obviously prepared to shell out for one.

Im waiting for one to come alongside me on the motorway, and watch their face drop when i pull away

If hes turned off his 4 wheel drive train bhp losses, dumps the 200 kilos its carrying extra, and has stage 2+ then it'll be close. Anything else it'll still be slower. (Except a track, or on the twisty stuff,or its raining again :embarassed:)

You still have a mk5 tho mcavity and your still a knob, there's no getting away from either of those facts.
