Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

What hesitation/lag on acceleration? Maybe it's too long since I drove a NA car lol.

Because it's drive-by-wire there's a slight hesitation when you accelerate. Installing a pedal box bypasses that and usually you can have it set up to how responsive you want it.

It should be lower if you are a member of a professional assoc, e.g.AMA, ICAA, etc

I got the same minus without sunroof ($1800) but with the radar cruise ($1200) so you should be $600 more than me and mine was $59k driveaway NSW rego. I did have a bit of fleet bonus to use (+5 cars) but you should be able to get to $61 or even $60

I was told by my dealer that my R is on the ship which is expected to arrive in late FEB.I don't know whether the stock is all customer ordered cars or a mixture of dealer allotted stock.

The Golf R is in the US so we can expect to have some new products for our cars in the coming months for now here is a review...

They don't get LED tails on the R... Seems odd to cost cut there on the top of the line car. I wonder what else they've taken away. I can see it has Nav and ACC

LED Tail lights are standard, so need to list them as an option.

He was referring to the US model because you can see in the video they have the standard golf's tailights. Not the LED's that we get standard

US taillights are different because of their rules around amber indicators. Same as why their headlights have the amber panel/light in the lighting cluster
