Golf R Observations and Questions

[Ideo]

Geez your playing the game.....not giving it away easily. So now i know that you considered a Mini......is it a 208GTI, Alfa Mito/Guillietta or Fiat 500? Or a Volvo C30 or a Skoda.

The Skoda's are very colour dependent if you ask me. Some of their colours are pretty bland while others are quite bright and exciting.

Yeah, was looking at the Skoda Fabia, but wanted to go a bit different.

The Alfa Giuletta was very nearly my choice, but I just wasn't sold on a few bits and pieces. Hate the 208GTI dashboard, the Fiat 500 is a bit too small and the C30 just didn't float my boat.

This is fun

I hate you....im so bad at guessing.

So im thinking it might be a different type of Mini, not the crazy hard riding JCW model. So a more comfortable and slightly slower Mini Cooper S or perhaps a Mini Clubman S.

Mini's are built in the UK (as far as im aware) and although owned by BMW, not actually German sort of...kind of.

same, that car's gotten a lot of good press. fit/finish won't quite match the vw but at least it doesnt polarise opinion like the twin turbo v6 i just put a deposit on to replace my R (silvrfoxx not allowed to guess)

So we have 2x RB Golf R owners leaving the stable and playing the "guess my next car" game. Mabye the blue ones aren't all that good afterall

So whats this twin turbo V6 you speak of....i assume a diesel something or rather. Audi SQ5

I was collating all the info so far and your post was convenient quote bait

Adding salt to the wound is the fact that the new car will likely be white It looks awesome with all the black contrast panels on the lower half of the car.

SQ5 is a good guess but it is (somewhat unbelievably) cheaper than that

Yep but you should be out buying crap for it

Pffft, I'm not the one who is so ashamed of being seen in a UG Golf that he never drives it :p

That's what the internet is for.

Holden Trax haha sorry.

Im guessing BMW X3/X5 then. Probably X5. Or VW Touareg is the only other i can think of. I don't know the SUV's well enough to know which ones are single turbo and which ones are twin turbo though.

Haha you got me there. Although i drove it on the weekend and it ticked over 19,000km. Hadn't driven it for about 4-5 weeks before that though (had been o'seas on holiday).

All this rubbish about non-Golf R vehicles.

Shocking, just shocking.

I tried to turn away from the R (hello C63) but fate brought me back, for now.

Daughter has gone away for a holiday so I get to play with her little Swift. Only a little 1.4 but it is a lot of fun. Tyres deglazed.

See, all this non-Golf R chatter has me in a fluster.

I have money on no one guessing

Nope. Silvrfoxx you may lose your money, not many other SUVs to choose from...

Ideo: this is my final shortlist, if your new car isn't here then I'm absolutely stumped

Alfa Mito
Citroen DS3/DS4/DS5
Fiat Punto
Hyundai Veloster
Peugeot 308
