Brilliant, thank you, I will see if I can establish if this is the new hardware.

H version, definitely the new "faster" hardware afaik.

Yes, it does look to be the case, I beleive VW started fitting that version in vehicles built 29/11/2021 onwards.

Here we go….First impressions are that it’s light years ahead to the Mk7.5. A real step up. It turns in so much sharper, you can’t feel the chassis has a bit of play under you too which is lovely. The pops from the exhaust are insane. It’s just on the right side of hooligan for me! It still isn’t as quick as the R was but it’s a lot more rewarding. You have to work it. Also it’s been soaking today and I’ve had zero traction issues. There doesn’t seem to be the same dead pedal travel feel as the Mk7.5. Did I love my R? Yes. Was the R dull? No. Would I see this for another R? Not a chance. It’s had so many looks and a few people stopping me to ask what it is, or what I think of it.

I love the interior so far. The seats are a thing of beauty and the tech isn’t intrusive in and way. I actually prefer the temp sliders amazingly! All in all, it’s a thing of beauty.

Same for me too!

The thing that gets me is that it’s practically three cars. I’ve never driven a golf R and I’m sure that’s not so different, but my last hot hatches we’re back in the days before ‘modes’ (I’ve had fast diesels since due to my millage needs).

In comfort and DSG in drive it’s comfortable and kinda sensible, in comfort and DSG in Sport it’s like a hot hatch and in special it’s so much fun and a proper serious piece of kit!

Bottom line, I just love it.

Good to see more 45's arriving. Regarding software, I think 1890 is the latest. I recommend everyone check their car in detail. I spotted one rear light is misaligned few days ago. Need to get it booked in to sort out.
