TS,

Just got back from the dealership --- got a little info from the guy and picked up a brochure --- HOLY MOLY i want this car!!! Anyone else really feeling it too?

I think the 2 door in blue - every option - lightly tinted windows and perhaps a slight drop would be an awesome car.

What are your thoughts?

I've had an R32 and want this one as well but I doubt I'm going to pick this one up this year.

Do want to test drive when it's available though

 

Ye man, i actually went there asking about an R32 and the guy was like "its called the R now" --- ok? So i listened and it sounds exactly like an R32 (which is a great thing). I might order one.

 

You on drugs?

You're not a teenager, asian or a geek. I have a base model GTI for a DD but wouldn't spend more than 15k on one, not worth it.

 

i don't see how it can sound like an R32 as it is a 2.0T, vs a 3.2 VR6 (also found in my car).

it also uses the older version 2.0T (FSI instead of newer TSI)

 

LOL.....i hear you man, but a Golf R would make a nice daily no? A base GTI is just too boring for me.




You dont see how an AWD Limited Edition Golf sounds like the AWD Limited Edition R32? Obv the motors are not the same but the exterior, interior bits, center exhaust, limited edition, awd, etc all make them very similar to me. That being said - i am not a huge VW guy so maybe i am overlooking some other stuff?

 

lol i thought you were talking about engine sound

for the rest, yes its the same R model released every 4 years in NA ('04, '08,'12), they just couldnt call it R32 anymore.

 

They can call it whatever they want as long as its Blue or white and in my driveway

 

Tbh i've only done about 500 miles in it, i got bored and gave it to an employee and DD the LP560.

 

Wise Man!!
