Golf R 3 door/5 door speculation/information thread
Meh... from a distance, CW could be a 77TDI...
... Blue is always an R
If I was going a CW R, I'd option the black rims for sure - then there's no mistaking it, and it looks properly tough! But DBP is the signature R colour (and is a fantastic colour at that), and I doubt I could go past it.
My favourite colour is blue. I drove blue cars for 8 years before purchasing a VW, and since then I've had a red Golf and a black Polo, neither colour I really wanted... so I'll be happy to get back to blue
The KW Street Comfort Coilover is now available for the Mark 6 Golf range. KW coilovers are great and offer superb NVH levels and ride - no issues with tug'n'release or spring bind on the KW coilovers.
Something for propospective Golf R owners that have to settle for 19" wheels with no Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC). The Golf R being too tough riding was a concern for me, esp with 20% stiffer springs than the MK6 GTI.
The R didn't feel "tough riding" to me when I tested it and this was with 4 other people in it. If anything, it felt less jarring than my Pirelli in Sport mode. In Comfort mode, the ride was like my GT - quite plush.

And another one hehe! I was expecting this stuff, but IMO the blue on the MK6 doesn't look right even though its the signature colour. On an R32 it looks amazing. Every time I see one, I still double take. But other than the original Frankfurt press shots of the blue 3dr, I don't think any R in blue has "captured" my attention.

And I did. Before the R, I was sold on a CW GTI but an R with all the black highlights just has that bit extra. If I can think of something not wank, I'll get the black euro plates to match.
Went to pick up my car today and asked the dealer if he knew when the Golf R will be released. Dealer said it'll be out in 2 weeks but he still doesn't know the price.
Current: |MY15 W205 Mercedes-Benz C250 | Polar White | AMG | COMAND | VISION |
Previous |MY10 MKVI GTI | Candy White | 5 Door | Manual | Bi-xenons | 18' Detroits | MDI | R LEDs Tail Lights|
Surely VWA must be going to release some details with regards to price and confirmation of release date on the R soon. If it is going to be the 12th June as everyone suggests that's not far away.
I signed up on the VW webiste (when you click the Golf R link) ages ago to receive information but have heard nothing...

This is nothing new and was always expected. VW might release prices this week, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they don't announce prices officially until next week.

Reason: Forgot the 'until' :)

Yep, I doubt anything official will be seen or heard from until the 11th or 12th.
