My white R is in the country now after 2 months of waiting, hoping to hear from the dealer soon!
Do the MY16 Rs come with Contis or Bridgestones?

When trying to decide between a Passat and a Golf Alltrack, my wife told be I could get an R Wagon. I almost fell over. In the end cooler heads prevailed - including mine - and now I have an Alltrack in the garage. It was a Sunday and dealerships are closed then in Queensland. Maybe I should have taken a hammer to the nearest window and handcuffed myself to a chair, credit card in hand and begged them to take my money quickly... anyway, enjoy your ride.

The MY16s come with Continental ContiSportContact 5P tires. I have them on mine and they're really excellent. I've had Michelin Pilot Super Sports on previous cars and i would call them about the same in grip, but maybe a little bit louder with road noise. Either way, much, much better then the Bridgestone RE050s that came on the MY15s.

Not worth swapping the Contis for Michellin PSS? I got quoted $600 to swap.

Just checking in... we have ordered a 110tsi highline for pickup in the new year. Can't wait.. stoked with all the stuff the my16's have.

Curious though.. does anyone know what the actual difference between the 92tsi and 110tsi engine is?

I know the compression ratio is slightly different, so there must be some differences with the internals, its not just software

From the spec sheet everything is he same except for the numbers. I think a salesman told me they had a bigger turbo, but I was hoping for something more definitive [emoji16]

Anyway pretty excited. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji12][emoji593]

Picked up my 2015 GTi manual in pearlescent black from DVG Melville a couple of weeks back. Fantastic car that just seems to get better every time I drive it. I was really impressed with DVG too, not only were they very friendly and non-pushy, but I also got a stonking deal, which included getting back all but $500 of the $15k I paid for my used Civic Type-R a year ago.

I took the GTi down to Busselton & Margaret River last week, and bombing down those winding country roads with the car in Sport mode was the most fun I've had with my pants on in a long time.
