Calling Mk 7.5 Golf R owners, wherever you may be.

[CraigW]

I collect my Mk7.5 R on Tuesday so I'll share some thoughts on it when it arrives and highlight why it's superior to the original MK7 R having moved the game on 

Good to see you embracing the so-called 7.5 superiority complex before you've even got the car. 

Watch out GTI owners looks like you're about to get bumped again by the new and improved God Complex R drivers. 

  I'll probably be wanting the GTI back when I see how quickly the needle on the petrol gauge moves, I'm worried that will move quicker than the rev counter

It will but you won't care, unless your name is CHB100.

  Funny how one accepts the consumption when it gives so much pleasure. Although not in the 22

club, reckon 28 long term. Averaged 32 Cornwall and back. Well pleased with that considering blowing away almost everything Except a GT-R !!

Look forward to your thoughts on the 7speed 310 CraigW, and don't worry about the fuel needle, it's barely visible, I now know why

[Booth11]

There's a "what cars have you embarrassed with your R" thread on VWROC that's just crying out for you. 

[CraigW]

I'd definitely be happy with 32 if I'm able to achieve that. Averaged 36-37 long term in the GTI and used to only average 28 in the TT before that

Could be worse. As our other car is an Audi A3 I enjoy going onto an Audi forum and poking the Audi S3 bears. Some of those guys really do have a God complex.

I actually find Golf R drivers are fairly reasonable. S3 drivers believe dogmatically that they are driving the best car. While Golf R driver just know they actually are driving the best car

Averaged 32 Cornwall and back.

I said last week on an Audi forum that the S3 would average 30mpg + or - 3. One S3 driver was very adamant that his trip computer said his S3 was averaging 40mpg. I pointed out that most S3/R drivers were lucky to get 400 miles per tank = 33mpg. And that the trip computer sometimes greatly overestimates the actual fuel consumption. He didn't sound like a happy bunny

Nothing personal but I have and many others I suspect, have-an aversion to Audi drivers and therefore the brand. Shame as they are quality motors.
 When we purchased a Mk 4 GTI we test drove a 1.8T and were told by the salesman who can only be described as flash, red braces , italien shoes so you could here him coming from space, his name escapes us but was suitable and he still makes us smile.
Anyway the final nail in the Audi coffin was him pointing at the grill and stating "The VW is fine but it doesn't have the 4 rings"
This was at Listers Worcester if anybody else had the pleasure of his salesmanship.

I've owned an Audi and my wife owned 2 and the service and staff at Inchcape Bolton was fantastic.
You must have just been unlucky or you are prejudiced against Audi for some strange reason.

At that time I hankered after an S3, so definitely not prejudiced then, no it was the shear arrogance of the set up, the like of which was reserved for BMW at that time c1999.

I have relatives/friends with Audi's, but in my experience it's more image on the estate than a passion for driving. As with a lot of car ownership to be fair, but have witnessed some incredibly arrogent driving/ tailgaiting / flashing lights etc especially on M ways with Audi drivers.
No, I love the subtlety of the VW/owners that delivers the goods without the horns Respect
