Golf R Specifications and Prices

[Sharkie]

LOL! I wouldnt call 'Different seats' an upgrade... The standard Jacky seats on the GTI imo blow the standard R seats away!

I'd call it a MAJOR upgrade ... the Jacky seats are only good if you want your retinas scorched as you climb into the car .....

Of course people have forgotten that VW seems to have no issues discounting the GTI (on roads for nothing at the moment) . This may not be the case with the R .

Agree, $38990 driveaway (before negotiation & corporate discount) for a 3dr manual Red GTI is a VERY good price ..... but its the same justification the 118TSI buyers had before the GTI came out .... for all its worh it now is merely a model in the Golf range and not King of the Hill anymore ....

Thanks for the info Corey! Im not in the market for an R but i would seem VW has got the price right. Ill keep dreaming

3 Door DSG $50,990

Nice!

Was that new BT kit factory or dealer fit, the price isn't so bad and if its better than the other options might be worth it.

How do you guys manage to get pricing before we do?

VWA really does have the worst kept secrets!

Scirocco R's now available in DSG from a dealer in Sydney .... $79990 driveaway .... see the latest Motor magazine for details.

And yes, its grey imports from NZ (fully complainced) .... the dealer expects to sell 20 a year ....

All the above pricing are RRP prices only, and do not include the extensive list of items which make up the "On Road" or "Drive Away" costs (dealer delivery, luxury car tax, stamp duty, registration, Compulsory Third Party-insurance, Number Plates, etc). These items will vary based on dealer, state, your residence post code, your age & driving history, and the options you select.

I have one ready for NSW, apart from the "registration cost". Cars weighing (Tare) 1155kg to 1504kg cost $285 to register in NSW, and 1505kg to 2504kg costs $406.... I'm waiting to see whether the official specs for the R in Australia put it above or below or that! (It hopefully will since it's 1541kg in the UK with a 68kg driver)

Have to agree...i have been breaking my dealers nuts as my finance company is pestering me for an invoice for my Golf R so they can pay for it!!!!

the email we got today said that the 3dr DSG R was $49, something a rather ( cant remember specifically!) where did you get your prices from?? not the $50k u said in the first thread..

I personally cant wait till they come out, might even trade the mkIV in on a golf R...

** insert Tim Allen grunt here **

The only thing i know of that i dont like on them is that they're cambelt engines PAIN IN THE ARSE
