Golf R Specifications and Prices

[dave_r]

All the above pricing are RRP prices only, and do not include the extensive list of items which make up the "On Road" or "Drive Away" costs (dealer delivery, luxury car tax, stamp duty, registration, Compulsory Third Party-insurance, Number Plates, etc). These items will vary based on dealer, state, your residence post code, your age & driving history, and the options you select.

Scirocco R's now available in DSG from a dealer in Sydney .... $79990 driveaway .... see the latest Motor magazine for details.

And yes, its grey imports from NZ (fully complainced) .... the dealer expects to sell 20 a year ....

LOL crazy crazy people

I have one ready for NSW, apart from the "registration cost". Cars weighing (Tare) 1155kg to 1504kg cost $285 to register in NSW, and 1505kg to 2504kg costs $406.... I'm waiting to see whether the official specs for the R in Australia put it above or below or that! (It hopefully will since it's 1541kg in the UK with a 68kg driver)

How do you guys manage to get pricing before we do?

Have to agree...i have been breaking my dealers nuts as my finance company is pestering me for an invoice for my Golf R so they can pay for it!!!!

the email we got today said that the 3dr DSG R was $49, something a rather ( cant remember specifically!) where did you get your prices from?? not the $50k u said in the first thread..

I personally cant wait till they come out, might even trade the mkIV in on a golf R...

** insert Tim Allen grunt here **

The only thing i know of that i dont like on them is that they're cambelt engines PAIN IN THE ARSE

pricing is spot on....just had an email from my vw dealer with the rrp's as per coreying's post.

Very tempting. I am now glad that VW could not find the CSG specced car I was after to be delivered by the end of June.


Anyone here got any insurance quotes yet for the R?

Best you can do is get a quote for an R32 and GTI as they won't have anything else to go by at this stage.

To be honest if you were going to get a R, you HAVE to get these seats!!!

I personally prefer the standard seats (in leather), than the Recaro seats. I find the standard seats to be very supportive, and more comfortable. And hey, at $5,300 less, that's good for me

Each to their own though. Seats and seat adjustments are a very personal thing.

[G-rig]

if you are going to get an R, you would have majority of the options, why get a box standard ones? like sharkie said, those seats are amazing, you would regret it if you go for the standard ones.

Everyone who sees the Recaro's later wan't them badly.. but too expensive to buy from parts later.. would be worth considering!!

Oh yeah of course each to their own taste.

Some people like the standard GTI seats over the leather ones. Not my place to judge.

BUT for me personally... if i was paying 50k for a car, what is another few grand for the extras? like sat nav, adjustable seats, leather etc. BUT when i buy a car, it is not at my cash limit... i only buy a certain amount worth of car if i definitely have alot of the top, don't like pushing the budget.

[parso_rex]

Wow this is seriously a lot less than i was expecting. Looks like the S3 option is out for me now unless theres some insane queue for 5 doors
Blue looks better than I thought. White would be my choice but that side on pics looks a bit hmm yeah plain

[guest12345]

Those are standard prices, not including government charges and onroad costs. Box standard drive away price would be 56-57... when you think about it is only a 2l afterall, so they can't exactly sell it for much more than the gti.
