Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

I'm no Martin Brundle but there doesn't look to be a lot of understeer in the new R.
What do the track racers think?Looking for:- RS4 B7 Avant.
Current:- Amarok V6 Sportline; Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD

Hackenberg says that the car drives nothing like the old one. It's a lot more engaging and sharp, much more of a mental hot hatch. You will even be able to turn the ESC fully off!Originally posted by Paul_R View PostAUTOBLOGAUSTRALIA : http://autoblogaustralia.blogspot.com.au

Just got this from Vortex. A new rendering of what the mk7 R could look like.
If the actual release looks anything like that white one, I'm sold (Minus the blue strip).

He told me last week that VW are "revising power output" for the R as a result of Mercedes releasing the A's full specs.
Could get interesting...Comment

Would be gr8 if that turns out Whistler, but I think its unlikely given the new S3 is being detuned for Oz (and R surely will not trump the S3)Comment

But it wont have anymore power than the S3 released hear. 206kW is it.Originally posted by Whistler View Post
The Golf R is not a competitor to the A45. Unless you think an approx 55k car is equivalent to a 75K car.Comment

Yep, I suspect you are all correct. But if he is righ, we in our "hot climate" would likely miss out. I don't expect they'd try to do any damage to the S3 sales, but heck, when the MkVI R was released in the UK is was £1000's more than their base S3 there - which has less kit than our S3s
It might also make sense to at least close the performance gap with the A45.
As for not being a competitor with the A45?
1. I'm considering both for my next drive.
2. The price gap will be less in the uk & Europe than here.
Just as likely it's only office gossip at Skoda though...Comment

Look up Chris Harris on Youtube for A45 vs M135I. There is no way the Golf R will hang with it since the new S3 can't.Originally posted by Whistler View Post
Apparently... rumours are that S3 with start <60K in our market.Comment
