Difference between 2010 & 2014 R?
« on: 29 November 2015, 11:15 »
Can someone pls tell me what the differences are between the above?  As currently on the secondhand market there is around a 10K difference in price for similar spec cars.  Not too concerned about miles as long as its under 50K.

Looking for advice pls

Thank you

Errr one's a MK6, the other is a MK7. So obviously there's a big difference in chassis, tech, etc.

The MK6 is 280bhp afaik. MK7 is 300.

It would be easier to tell you what bits they share in common: the wheel bolts.
There are virtually no other similarities.

Completely different. Chassis changed, engine changed, haldex is new. Very little similarities

The MK7 MQB chassis is a very noticeable step up in handling and refinement over the previous (MK5/MK6 platform), and the MK6 had far less standard equipment (tech) than the MK7. For me the MK6 is an ugly Golf incarnation. They took the MK5 and made it look like something Toyota would make - with those oversized light clusters and more "rounding off". The MK7 is a much better car.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

@MH are you glad you changed from the GTD? I am running the dtuk box like you were also winter tyres to assist with grip etc.  Not sure if it's worth the move or not

I can't compare it to a GTD but it's was a worthwhile jump from my MK7 GTI
