Hi

Thought I would finally become a member after reading some great information in the forums.
I am interested in finding out more on the Golf R and GTI and if thes would be suitable vehicle for travelling 730 kms in a day ?? Cheers

Either would be a nicer place to spend 8 hours than in a Camry. How often are you going to make that trip? I drove my 2000 S3 from Adelaide to Brisbane in 2 days, that's 2200km. I could still walk and only stopped when I needed petrol.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Thanks for the reply, My partner and I travel north to Cairns once a month and return to see my son for a few days.
Court orders and stuff , was doing it fortnightly. At present driving a 1994 Corolla auto.

Hoping to upgrade to a MK6 GTI or R. Bit worried about ride quality with 18" inch wheels on the GTI or R. I test drove the R and felt somewhat disappointed when you step on the gas it take a bit to get moving otherwise it's an awesome car.Wish we had Autobahn in Oz.

Just tossing up between a 2010 GTI or spring for new MY13 GTI.

Cheers
