Had a look at a horribly yellow coloured Rs today at the local dealer. Very impressed with the quick look in regards to build quality. Funny even smelt like a new VW or Audi. Would like to take one for a spin. I reckon it is good value for money. With some added goodies from APR and Oettinger, would give the Falcodore a good kick in the proverbials.

I wouldn't be too quick to jump to that conclusion. They are quite popular over in the UK, and just count the number of bright coloured yellow mazda sp20's get around.Originally posted by WhubbsieThere is nothing better than a polo badge, thats why you will notice Veyron drivers with polo gti badges.... they know where the true sizzles at!

We went for a testdrive last weekend and were very impressed with the fit and finish.

I do think the yellow RS wagons look better than the yellow hatches for some reason.2017 MY18 Golf R 7.5 Wolfsburg wagon (boring white) delivered 21 Sep 2017, 2008 Octavia vRS wagon 2.0 TFSI 6M (bright yellow), 2006 T5 Transporter van 2.5 TDI 6M (gone but not forgotten).

If the dealer was offering me the same deal on a yellow wagon I would have snapped it up (deal was on red hatch).
I personally think the appeal on the RS is the wagon - Im not so sre about the hatch - I think there are more established brands and bigger competition in hatch market whereas I fail to think of many other hot wagons.

I didn't find anything with the same space and pace for anywhere near Octavia RS wagon money (that's why I ordered one).
In fact "affordable" wagons with a bit of performance and handling are pretty thin on the ground in OZ (some of the faster Audi and BMW wagons are pretty tasty, but also pretty pricey too)
