mk7 Golf R UK press release

[Jimble]

^^Oh my.......

[Flintymutt]

I do like those Pretoria 19" optional alloys 

Me want!

A good place to be








19" Wheels close up

[CraigW]

Things noticed straight away

The embossed leather seats are lovely
The blue needles in the dials are very nice
I love the piano black finish on the dash compared to the imitation CF in the GTI
The black callipers with the R logo look awesome
The colour - just wow

Ill probably hold on to the GTI for 3 years but thereafter the R is going to be very very tempting and it will probably be a straight shoot out between this and the mk3 TT when I come to change

Blue ambient lighting!!

Loving those seats...those wheels....that lighting.  Next car in 2 years?  Quite likely

Wheels and lighting look amazing - not sure about the seats. The coverings are nice, but the overall shape isn't special, they look like standard Scirocco seats - would've expected integrated head rests (looking a bit like Recaros) or those ones that "sandwich board" over the seat tops.

They are the same as the GTI's seats with different covers.

And for that reason, it's a bit disappointing - would've expected a little more for the "R", but the rest of the car is sure to impress.

Totally agree Craig, it looks amazing and ill be very tempted in 2-3 years!
