Golf R 300bhp Standard Spec? (Car ordered!)

[brettblade]

I’m back at the dealer tomorrow, but feeling a little impatient and would like to check the standard spec of the Golf R runouts.  The two that I’m particularly interested in are keyless and the reversing camera - are these now standard trim on the last of the R models?  The VW website suggests so but it’s difficult to find a definite answer.

Perfect, it looks as though my options dilemma is no longer a dilemma! 

Thanks!

Order placed!  Already at UK port, so 1st March delivery should be a given.  Mk7.5 R in Indium Grey with Spielbergs.

Well done sir! Indium is lovely. My dad has an indium Tiguan and the gti I looked at yesterday was indium too.

I’ll be ordering next weekend.

Must admit it’s my favourite of the current palette.  In an ideal world I would have specc’d Dynaudio, but couldn’t be too choosy on the deal I’ve got.

Fantastic 

Mine would be an R in Indium with Prets. Debadged. Subtle and fast.

No option for Prets (without leather) on the dealer stock that I was looking at I’m afraid, would’ve preferred Prets but the Spielberg are nice enough.

Im in a similar area to you Brett,would you mind sharing what you have been offered (PM me if you prefer?) please?

I am thinking of swapping my 14 plate Mk7 Gti for either a 7.5 performance or a 7.5 R.

I have been offered a 5 door DSG 18 plate performance in Oryx, 8k miles ,with Santiagos and a few other bits on it for £12k cost to change (so 14 grand trade in for mine) but I dunno if its really a good deal compared to perhaps getting a new one? I have never bought brand new before.

Cheers.
