Reply With QuoteI managed to get a MY18 white manual GTI with infotainment pack and tint for $46k. Not sure if I got a good deal or not, but the Infotainment packs seems to be pretty rare.

I got some info from my saleperson about the key differences between the regular Golf R and my Golf R Grid version.
Below are the Grid features followed by the full spec R features:
Gloss Black mirrors v Matte Chrome mirrors
Sports cloth /Alcantara mix upholstery v Vienna leather
8" infotainment v 9.2"
Black roof rails v chrome roof rails (for wagons)
What the Grid doesn't get:
- Heated front seats
- Electric drivers seat with memory
- Gesture control
- Voice control
- Active info dash
The GRid still gets 19" Spielbergs, keyless access, dynamic indicators, electric folding mirrors (yesssss).

I think the wagon R misses out on the rear dynamic indicators (but the taillights are tinted)Originally Posted by markzed
Mine came with chrome roof rails, but I'd much prefer the black ones.

Mine will be a Grid Wagon, the PDF I acquired doesn't differentiate between hatch/wagon regarding the indicators, but I'm kinda happy either way.

That Grid 7.5 is still better specced than my current R lol.
Edit: except for the drive assist which I'm guessing is an option.
Looking for:- RS4 B7 Avant.

Anyone with their shiny new Golf R 7.5's happen to know which oil it takes? I read 5W 30 somewhere but was wondering if anyone with an actual manual could check? Kinda thinking I should stock up when its on sale. Cheers in advance!

In Oz it is supposed to be VW 504.00 approved (check the label carefully). Well, that's what is says in my manual anyway.

For those of you who have been lucky enough to get your new cars now, is the model MY17.5 or MY18?
I'm sorting out insurance but they all seem to have the car as MY17.5 and not MY18 (which I thought it would be if built in August).
Cheers

Yes. The insurance will say MY17.5
