Don't like Tornado Red & no Keyless Entry i am out
I think you're already out at you have a Diesel on order!
Are you not able to twist a key? Poor fella! When I was younger you had to wind your own windows down with handles and walk around the car to move your own wing mirrors. First world problems of today eh? Now where's me pipe and slippers?
The jury is out on red for me, some days I like it and some days I don't. At least it's 'free'.
Fair point Exonian i do have a GTD on order but i do like the R.
I am used to having the start/stop button on my cars for the past 8 years.
Winding windows down was great at least you could force them when they were frozen shut.
I paid nearly £12k less for a brand new GTI with options, Do you really get £12k worth more of car? and USED at that 
Depends on your perception of value.
To some people a Golf R is a cheap respectable runabout to go with the big 4x4 for the family and the Porsche for the weekends. To other people it's an aspirational object.
To me it's "Nearly £40k for a Golf? Jesus wept! I really should have studied harder at school..."
Still, if people didn't buy them VW wouldn't make them.
I found your reply in there somewhere! The joys of quoting using a smart phone eh?
I was just pulling your leg btw.
I drive about five vehicles in a week all of which need ignition keys and I have enough trouble trying to remember which one needs the handbrake pulled on at a junction and which one doesn't...
