You must tell us how it compares with your Mk6 GTI, Steve.

Is it DSG?

A review will be on way as soon as I get some time.

This is a very nicely speced DSG model  :happy2:

Title: Re: Don't you hate loan cars.......
Post by: chungster on June 11, 2010, 08:58:04 pm
they prolly need to have a high gloss kinda finish instead of matt ish to pull off the black wheels look.

Title: Re: Don't you hate loan cars.......
Post by: Rich on June 11, 2010, 09:00:52 pm
black wheels on the black R looks better... BUT... the black R... its hard to tell its R as as everything is black and it disguises its features... (if that makes sense)


I think the Golf R is best in Blue with Silver 19" Wheels

....Makes perfect sense. When I fist saw this black R sideways-on, I just thought it was a Mk5 with aftermarket wheels.

Not a fan of the white but as a loaner I wouldn't say no.

My Golf .:R colours would be blue with the black 19"s. :wink:

Cant knock it as a loan car, but it just doesn't 'pop' for me. If I was to buy I think my money would be on the Scirocco R. In Black it just looks like a standard Golf.

Can i be the one to ruin this thread please.  :jumping:


Ok here goes.

 How come all the people who cant afford a golf R havn't said  "yeh! but its to expensive, you could get a Zonda for that money".


This statement is for all the people ( and you know who you are ) who reply to my statement of fact.  :grin: and who have ruined countless threads with there bitterness, not being able to afford one.  :signLOL:

Everybody knows they are toooo expensive, but me thinks you doth protest to much.  :innocent: :P

Ok lets see who's first to bite.  :pomppomp:  Will it be Oli, Mat or VC.  :rolleye:

Well I'm one of the guys here who has always been positive and expressed liking the Golf R inspite of other's price criticisms. I think that white suits the car, and the blue, but not keen on the glossy black though. I reckon an anthracite colour might suit the wheels. I hope I may get a test drive one day.

I'm not jealous, Steve! :wink: - A fortnight is a good solid time to get to know the car.

I'm pretty sure I know who's the car is and why Steve has it...  :booty: :booty: :booty:

Regarding the car, I have taken the Golf R with a pinch of salt until I saw a white one with the black 19's on Youtube the other week and have to admit I did a little sex wee.. Still to expensive though ( eh TC  :wink:)

Lovely loaner Steve, having seen the exact same colour scheme the other day they do look lovely in the flesh!  :party:

^^^ never fell out with them just voice concerns about issues I had on the Mk5 systems, thses have now been addressed with some major investments by Milltek.

Yes it's Millteks car, they don't have the R8 anymore IIRC they replaced it with a TT-RS  :smiley:

IMHO, this is what makes R cars great. It's also why I wanted a grey/silver R32 rather than a DBP one. Harder to tell at a glance that it's 'special'. I love the sleeper aspect. My R with be grey with silver 19"s

I love the Golf R.... i dont think its over priced... VW have priced it 30-40k for a reason... and i think its a good reason...

If it was cheaper... i think everyone would be swapping for a Golf R and then owning a Golf R isn't so special after all...

Thats the positive I think about the higher price, it will remain that bit more exclusive for longer.
Can be disheartening sometimes seeing every tom dick and harry with the same car as you

Post by: neg on June 12, 2010, 04:30:20 pm
I had a feeling it was Miltek's as the dealer told me they had ordered one when I had a test drive in their demo - not the kind of demo car most average dealers would have now is it...

Hmm, I wonder how long they'll keep it - will certainly have a decent exhaust once they have done.
