Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[Finance_Analyst]

It's interesting that Range Rover gets really bad marks for reliability and build quality in a lot of the surveys I read

I would rather push my Range Rover than be caught dead in an Audi (oops I mean VW with leather!)

[Finance_Analyst]

I am sure most of us couldn't care less whether it's considered 'prestige' or not.

If that was the case you and all other buyers would have bought a VW which at least does not pretend to have prestige car aspirations like its four ring cousin stablemate.

Ummm did you not read what I wrote earlier where I explained the motivations? If you're going to continue to discuss this, then have the decency to actually read and then respond.

Sounds like you are the one who is imagine conscious and would not be caught deed in anything that is not 'prestige'. And I hate to break it to you but I've seen absolutely no real estate agents driving a Range Rover, in any suburb.

in my inner city blue ribbon Liberal suburb don't drive Audis....

The more and more you post the more and more you're coming across as someone who is a show pony so I'm glad you're happy driving your 4WD with 19" wheels, around an inner city blue ribbon Liberal suburb where it serves absolutely no purpose!

Good on you mate :s

...and your last car was Golf

Anyhow, as long as you're serious about the pushing, I respect you and what you're saying.

Finance_Analyst. You put the anal into financial analysis? You don't come across well in your ever so slightly shrieking invective.

I have just established that Mr finance analyst does not like "VW's with leather"

That looks crisp! They look like 19" though... I really would only go as large as 18"
Ride is compromised too much with 19"

Yer they are 19's.
Most the UK guys say the ride is good on the 19's and there roads sound as bad if not worse then ours.

Lol you must just have been on the Uk R forum as well Sekas For me the Limestone Grey and black pretorias is a winning combo. Could even sway me away from the S3... (anyone in Melbourne have a recommendation on where to get them painted?)

[sekas]

Yep i live on there day by day on the reviews/photos haha.
Im still gettin lapiz blue with the standard 18s but hopefully someone puts up a pic of lapiz with black pretorias/mirror caps because i reckon that would look mean

That R does indeed look nice!

^ Guys, do you think that R is actually Limstone Grey or Reflex Silver?

[zardoz]

Hey guys,

I've spoken to a few dealers and they're telling me that they've received the specifications on the Golf R and the Discover Pro isn't listed as an option.

Let's hope that they haven't omitted this!

Its too dark to be normal silver. Looks very similar to my United Grey Mk6's colour - so my vote is that its the new "Limestone grey".
