went and sat in a golf R today, so far so good, nice driving position albeit higher than i prefer. wheel is small, hell comfortable and can extend really far back so that's a plus.

organising a test drive soon.

[Rekin]

[Rekin]

[blah_blah]

Hamish is ballin'

Also Pat feel sorry for ya lol

Not much short of the standard exhaust will clear an EPA test, 90db is f**king quiet, standard exhaust on the GTS-T is around 88db.

Haha sigh, such a drain! Unnecessary costs of swapping over exhausts, lame. Cheers for info.

Just borrow a stock exhaust man someone will lend u one for sure.

My gf just got her license back... Lost 3 points already.. Within a week ...

Haha yeah stock exhaust to clear it might be the way to go. Ahaha your gf quite the hoon

Y u no sirocco r? is cause coupe?

R has AWD goodness?

Although around uni, lately I've seen a scirocco, looks the goods. But also see few Rs... also so nice. xD.

[xALmoN]

scirocco is 1.4

[kaitoukid]

Nah, in aus pretty sure we only get the scirocco R which is 2.0 tsi

scirocco R is same price (thereabouts) and FWD. while it looks baller from the front and side the ass is epic fail.

golf R is 4wd - similar system to the GTR but it is front wheel biased. so when you are putting around the city or a hwy it's fwd to save fuel but when you pin it, it can throw up to 100% to the rears.

also i wont be buying new.

Post pic of golf r wanna see what they look like.

Also hate Internet when u actually want quality info on something good fkn luck finding it... Most fpv reviews say its drinks fuel list no tomorrow but dont actually quantify how much.. Check thread on form forums average seems about 14-15/100km which I rkn is decent for what it is doubt any v8 would come in much lower? Any v8 owners around lol?

What colour Hamish?

I've seen a few around in white with black rims and I'll have to admit they do look tough.

2nd hand would be about $50k? What's the mod potential of these motors?

Let us know how the test drives goes and how it compares to your current beast

[blah_blah]

Also curious on your choice of the Golf R as your new family car compared to say an EVO/Wrx STi at around the same bracket.

I'm assuming because the Golf R is safer, more fuel efficient and less cop attention? Will the boot space be sufficient for your needs i.e. for a prams and groceries etc..?

we have a mk6 77 tsi and it's f**king amazing. for the same price (nearly) of it's japanese rivals it is MILES ahead.

the interior/saftey features, build quality and refinement are the main things that are biasing me over the wrx/evo also how ugly the new rexes are doesn't help the situation..

as for cop attention etc... well that's definately a plus

blue

it's going to feel like driving a house-brick powered by an ant compared to my skyline it's more about usable power on the street if i can handle the massive downgrade

they seem to get down to just over 40k 2nd hand

[alr33x]

Those golfs look so good! Agree with tony white on black is best combo I've seen or all black tough little cars

Can pram and everything fit in ok ?
