Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[jacs]

I would say my golf 7 R on 19s is at least as comfortable as my previous mk6 gti on 17s.

I really want to see the Top Gear Golf R vs STI, anyone know if we'll get to see it anytime soon?

Was at my local dealership on the weekend and my sales contact mentioned (unconfirmed) that there could be a limited release of Golf R estates/wagons coming our way in QTR 3. Could be limited to only 200 units nationally.

People have been putting orders down already. I believe the due date for them was mid to late September.

Wait...so the R Wagons are confirmed?

All unconfirmed for now, though sounds like there is some consistency to the rumour. Just have to wait for the formal communication. If the limited release is true, I imagine they will go quick.

Ah OK. After staring at pictures all day I've decided the Golf Wagon's just don't do it for me. Crisis averted lol

What's the R ride like compared to the GTI? Obviously more power and 4MOTION plus a bit more weight. I mean, in comfort mode for example is it more or less the same as the GTI? Or is it noticeably bumpier across all driving modes?

Don't know about the GTI but the Mk7 R rides better on 19s than the Mk6 R did on 18s. I just leave mine in normal mode for the suspension. Sport is too niggly and comfort is just not needed. People reckoned the Mk6 R was a better ride than the Mk6 GTI.

hmm I beg to differ - I reckon my GTI rides nicer than my brother's R (and my other brother's R36 wagon for that matter).

They do have 19s though so that might be a factor.

Loving the new wheels [emoji2] sitting on VWR springs (ignore the sticky strip on the window, was seeing what it looked like without the extensions)

Its just the standard spoiler but i have it wrapped in gloss black with the roof. I have the revosport carbon fibre add on spoiler to go on as well but need to do other things first

Hi

Last night on nightshift I was thinking I've might of stuffed up with the personal plates I've ordered for our new Mk7 R .
The plate reads WKDR20 ,is the R20 part more suited to the Mk6 R . Or am I over thinking it or I under thought it ? .
Anyway looking forward getting the R in mid May .

Cheers

In QLD I think that is a $2000 plate? I would make sure YOU are happy with it. Ask some people that you know aren't the brightest light-bulbs if you are worried about it being misinterpreted.

MYMK7R is available.
Or what about WRKD7R.
