I'm not sure if the door leather inserts should be there or not but combined with the leather armrest it looks like a production intent.

Congrats on your new purchase  :smiley:

Great choice of car and colour  :grin: :wink:

I think eventually leather will become standard in the R,  as it did with the last R32's .... so the leather door inserts and armrests are perhaps intentionally standard with all R's  -  but who knows VW thoughts  :rolleyes:

Well said sir - nice to have another petrol head with us as we seem to be a an ever rarer beast on here.

I'd dearly love an R, particularly in Rising Blue. Seriously smart piece of kit. My only problem with it (as has been said many times before) is price. I just specced one up on the configurator with just paint and cruise control (on the grounds that I have sat nav, bluetooth etc that I could swap from the GTi) and it was £32000. The only one on VWs Used car locator was £36000, albeit with lots of options. A quick trawl of the tinterweb puts me in numerous M3s for that amount of money. Or what about a 1972 V12 E Type Jag for £32k as an off the wall choice?

It's just a phenomenal amount of money for a Golf, it really is.

Great summary mate, I agree with all of it.  When the used ones start coming down in price it's going to be a tough call between an R and an S4, tbh though I think the S4 will get my vote in the end.

This one just arrived in the Dubai showroom. Fully loaded - GBP 27,000 new.

Looks good in white.
