There seems to be an incredible lack of us on this forum, I don't remember seeing any other posters since I got mine in mid May.
Done 1600 miles and am looking for any excuse to drive it,especially on long runs. Achieved 32mpg on Cornwall trip that included some very high speeds.
The most satisfying car to own. Without the in your face look at me compromises of a super car.
Arrived 15/5/17 Mk 7.5 R Lapiz 5dr DSG, Prets, Pan Roof, DCC, Rear View Cam.
Our other car is a Mk7 GTI DSG 5dr Tungsten, Vienna, Rear View Cam, Park assist.

... unfortunately, this is a Golf GTI forum. (says so at the top!) There is another forum for the Golf R. Golf TDI/GTD drivers have a forum sub section :rolleyes:

Saw my first 7.5 R this week, suppose there aren't that many around yet. Well not near me anyway. All the 7.5's i've seen so far have been either GTD's or boggo SE's and GT's.

You should have dropped in on the way down to Kernow, I've yet to see a FL R in the flesh.

There are quite a few popping up over on VWROC now. Probably a few on golfmk7.com too, but I've not dropped in on that forum for a very long time. Most of the FL R's on here are still awaiting production (or ordering!) it seems.
VWROC seems a much more buoyant place to discuss all things R related. The rest of us Front Drivers are too busy scrabbling for traction with our inferior cars to be very buoyant.  :lipsrsealed:

Odd that, there are many non GTI only posters on here, it started as such but has evolved to include all.

The title as such is merely a pointer to all the Marks of Golf based on the original GTI, l / We have owned during their production lifetimes GTI,s  Mk's 1, 2, 4,5, 6, 7 and now both 7 and 7.5 R

Answer applies also to Jim's glib comment above :rolleyes:

As a new user, if I wouldn't join this forum if I was buying or owned an R. The title actual says Golf GTI Forum. So maybe the name needs to change to Performance Golfs? Just a thought.
