Golf R Specifications and Prices

[sameatworld]

Well, they're not all going to be White or Blue... I have seen at least 1 or 2 people get the Deep Black and the United Grey.
What I haven't seen anyone get yet is the Reflex Silver.... I guess it's just too boring

it's not too boring

There is a guy in my buliding who works for a motoring website/mag, as he always has different drive cars, most recently, a trio of Golf R's 2 DSG, 1 manual, Blue, Black and Sliver, all look hot IMO

I saw a black one from about 50m away yesterday, looked good, although I do wonder what a black with black 19s and the black lights would look like... very nice I suspect (if you haven't yet made the mistake of buying a black car once in your life )

Would look a bit like this, pretty mean:

Damn I'm glad I had no choice of colour... otherwise I'd be having a serious case of regret (and about to make a mistake I swore I'd never make again).

We're just joking around to keep ourselves occupied, otherwise its off to the nut house while waiting on delivery!

I've watched enough of other peoples experiences to love black from a "distance" LOL.

Golf R - Optional Motosport front seats

Hi,

Has anyone specified these yet? What are they like? Are they heated? are they worth the extra $4K?

Thoughts please?

Also, anyone in Brisbane got them so I can have a sneaky peak as no dealer has them?

[Pepe]

I could be wrong, but I thought they weren't heated? No side airbags either... still, they do look awesome and if you were going on the track, would have to be worth it. Also, I think they're only about 2k more than standard leather, but that's about 5.5k over standard cloth (plus LCT most likely).

Having said that, the standard leather ones are insanely comfortable! I seriously sit at my desk at work and wish the seat I was in was half as comfortable as the ones the R. I'm 6'3" and have very broad shoulders and they fit like a glove. Oh, and seat heating, awesome

I've merged the thread here since this is where all the questions about the R specs and prices are.
If you search this thread for Recaro, Recaros, and Motorsports you'll find lots of responses.

Yes, they are heated. They lose the side airbags, but as they're very heavily bolstered, the side airbags shouldn't be needed anyway (well, that's the theory... though harnesses are illegal on the roads, so who knows how well you'll actually stay in the seat). They're not $4k in the R. They're $5,300 PLUS LCT, so about $7400 if that's applicable.

Are they any good? That's a personal thing. Some people would say yes, some people would say no. You'll just have to go and sit in both and decide for yourself

If they're the same as the ones in the Audi S3,then they're not heated and no airbags.
Great seats though.

They are heated, specs here

Would love to get them but wouldn't in a 3dr. Everyone wants them but not many people actually pull the trigger.

On the verge of ordering my R and the Recaros were the dilema (ok colour is still a dilema!) for me, they look cool but at the end of the day I dont find those seats as comfortable as the normal leather seats and airbags are good

My wifes theory was, you dont need them, youve got Recaros in your MkII! Worst logic ever!!!

On a side note, the cloth seats on the R are horrible IMO
