Golf R Specifications and Prices

[Corey_R]

The pictures look awesome Guy!

So, when will APR have that Golf R RSC Exhaust out?

[G-rig]

Congrats Guy will have to get your review on it soon compared to the S3 and Stage 3 GTI!

RSC will take a little while - the development process from Corsa requires a car for couple of weeks with multiple microphones attached - and seeming they are in the US, it could take a few........

Review? Its a down market S3 - drives the same, feels the same, does not have the Audi quality, fit & finish, acoustics, but it will outsell the S3 probably 10 to 1

Oh yeah, BTW, for all sydneysiders.....Daily Telegraph had their R review in it today. Think it was by carsales, but it's not on their website yet.

So if the USA doesn't get the Golf R, does that means there will be no RSC exhaust for the R?
I've done a search for a release date for the R in the USA, and apart from finding several sources saying if it is released it'll be called the GTI-R there, no one has a release date.

If you dont get the MDI does that mean there is no way to plug an iPod into the audio?
MDI refers to USB, just wondering if there is a standard headphone plug style input that most cars have these days.

[Corey_R]

Yes, there is a standard AUX input.


It's visible in this video AskaVWsalesguy - Episode 61: No iPod? no Problem!

Can you order a Golf GTI R requesting the front number plate holder to be left off ?

Hey,

The subject has probably been addressed before, if so i apologise.

Can you factory order a Golf GTI / R requesting the front number plate holder to be left off ???

I have heard, no you cant. But there are some plugs you can put on the GTI. Apparently it gets a bit ugly trying to do the same on the R, as they are 2 sets of 2 vertically positioned holes.

In the Mk6 Golf R and i suspect the Gti as well the AUX input is in the console center armrest compartment.

I just used Coreying's calc to value the car,

Your Negotiated Drive Away Price $68,432.00
RRP Drive Away Price $72,666.50
Total Amount Saved $4,234.50
Percentage Saved 5.83%


Thats not bad.

PS the Recaros are the BOMBA!!

I've been in contact with a VGA product manager to find out what can be done about this. He's already responded to say that he's looking into it... I'll obviously update here when I have a response.

[dave_r]

Has anyone noticed any R's in Melbourne showrooms with the Recaros fitted? I'd like to see what the fuss is about.

[Corey_R]

From what I've seen, they're the same as the R32's Recaros, but with "Black ‘San Remo’ microfibre" insert instead of being all leather.
