Hi Guys,

Currently driving a 2015 polo gti and fancy something a bit bigger (got a big dog) and a bit quicker.

I took out the new gti original on the weekend and yea it was a good car but didn't set my heart on fire as its very similar to my current gti.... the salesman said i need to try the R as that would have what I'm looking for. I always thought the R's were out of my price range but......

The Gti original manual is $38k and the R I was quoted at $45k for the manual R Grid. Mrs will only drive manuals so no why no dsg questions lols.

$45k for a new golf R grid??? Is this a really good price?

Thoughts? Should i go test drive the R and find the extra 7k?
