Title: My 'R' has finally arrived!(Sorry about the crap pic's)
Post by: sanj on October 26, 2013, 05:44:06 pm
Loving the new car after a crazy 3 hour drive back from Birmingham(massive traffic jam on M6),I had to drive in granny mode as I crapped myself as it was my first DSG,it's fully loaded and only missing,Dynaudio,reverse cam and sunroof,the owner took me out for a spin using the paddles and I nearly had my neck snapped off,it's super quick and i'll enjoy getting used to it over the next few day's!Sorry about the crap pic's. :smiley:

Very very nice, love the mk6 R  :drool: . Can I ask what car you had before this R? If it was a mk5 gti does the R feel a lot quicker ? Just with the added weight of the AWD that's all obvly it is quicker but I just wonder if it feels waaaaaay quicker  :smiley:

Put it this way,this is mapped and running at 305bhp and in manual sport mode I was fearing for my life,sound's fantastic at full throttle as well.I had a Edition30 before this and this is a hell of a lot quicker. :smiley:

Is it really that much quicker than your old ed30?,or does is just feel quicker due to the constant tractionin the R that  you never had in the eddie?

Was your eddy mapped? Sorry if I'm kinda high jacking your thread :happy2: just I think a mk6 R will be my next car as I have a mk5 gti ATM and was just trying to get a compare. Hope you enjoy it mate  :smiley:

Hey no problem Chris,my Eddy was mapped for a short time but getting the power to the front wheel's was tough,launch control on the other hand is supposed to be sick on a mapped 'R'. :smiley:

Be careful of pot holes as those rims are not the strongest and prone to bending and cracking.

It is littered with grey golf R's too.  :signLOL:

Sheffield is getting better. The Tour de France is coming through here and so the roads are all being re-surfaced and are super smooth.....just like your R. :happy2:

See what I did there? :grin:

Health to enjoy your new car man,  :drool:  I thought about changing to an R a while back, just couldn't justify it then, but sometimes I wonder...

Sounds like your more than happy with it, as it is...

Now what's on the to do list  :driver:

Hi,to be honest I've only had in in normal comfort auto but its easy enough to drive but I'll have a play with the manual sport mode with the ACC set to sport as well,the Mk6 cabin is so much better built then my mk5 Ed30 and the sound from the speakers are top notch!
