Probably more! Just look on Autotrader and see how many used Golf R's are on there over £30k!
There's even one on there for £39k USED!!!!!!


Just a Golf.....

I was hoping for an Edition 35 preview!

Instead in a bid to boost slow sales of the R model, they give it some trim changes and no doubt charge something stupid like 2k for the privelage.......

I intended to purchase a new Golf R, but after taking into consideration all costs I decided on a GTi (new, last August). When I priced up the R, I felt that £30k+ was alot to pay for a Golf. Sometimes I wish I went for it, but most times I am glad I stuck to the GTi, it has enough round ability for me personally.

Yeah - it's good, ain't it?

There's a real supply issue for both new and used Rs at the moment...

Slow sales? Hmm... more like limited supply. I don't think the extras on the special edition will be made available to Joe Public... it's just a concept AFAIK

Don't get me wrong, I'd have an R without a doubt but couldnt justify (to the wife) the cost.

Same here Jim, £30k for a Golf is very high in anyones book TBH.

Will consider one next year when changing the GTi as I really do like them, but I'd have to get a good deal to tempt me.

Still waiting for an Edition 35 or like.

Even the new Golf Cabrio now has the R wheels, rear lamps and the 210 bhp of the GTi.....

Come on VW bring out a half way house between an R and a regular GTi for the Anni model, both in price and performance.

The half way house is a Revo stage one or similar.

I'm looking at the VW Racing stage one, and hope to get that sorted soon.  That will be 250 horses and optimized for the MK6.
