WooHoo.......VW have done the right thing!
http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows/volkswagen-reveals-hot-296bhp-golf-r-estate
Lowered, proper brakes, and maybe a stage 1 tune and that'll be me done.
............loads the configurator! :popcornsoda:

Ive been trying to post this for half hour but the forum wont let me .....
It’s real, and it’s spectacular. The highly anticipated Golf R Variant will be making its global debut in the coming days at this year’s Los Angeles International Auto Show, featuring a 296hp turbocharges and direct injected four cylinder and 6 speed DSG gearbox, capable of returning 34mpg. European citizens will be able to purchase their own R Variant beginning in the spring of next year, but we’ve yet to hear official word on US market availability. This is the second time that Volkswagen has shown a sporty Golf Variant with no confirmed plans for US availability in less than 12 months, which we think could be a bit more than just coincidence.
Wagon version of the Golf R sports 300 PS, 4MOTION all-wheel-drive, and a winning combination of practicality and performance
Shares the same high output 2.0-liter TSI® engine as the Golf R, with 300 PS
Drivetrain consists of 6-speed DSG® automatic transmission and 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive system
Car has top track speed of 155 mph, accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.1 seconds
Capable of seating five, with comparable cargo space to compact SUVs
Car goes on sale in Europe in Spring of 2015
Full press release

Uh Oh......possible deal breaker. You can't spec Dyna Audio because the pesky Haldex is in the way!!!!
-
Meh... fancy car audio is a waste of time anyway
-
You're probably right......:far better to spend the cash on a BCS exhaust!
-
If only it had 7 seats. VW Sharan R??
It looks a bit weird to me. Tiny lights, narrow front wings and a massive rear end. I like everything from the wing mirrors back.
-
Nice!! I was hoping this would actually happen. With baby no. 2 on the way this would make a good replacement for the Pirelli :happy2:
Wonder whether they'll be giving them away on crazy lease deals like the hatch...
-
Looks good :happy2:

:grin:

I like my audio :grin:
-
I'm VERY intreasted too...fit a Nortech turbo kit & u b flying
-
All I need is for them to make one of these with that new bi-turbo diesel in it now :driver:
-
If I was spending that kind of money on a Golf R, I reckon I'd opt for this over the hatchback. I do love an estate. :happy2:

Hmmmmm. Sounds perfect. Stage 1, exhaust, suspension & BBK.

Personally, I'd do those modifications in reverse order to listed! :laugh:

I'm with you if I was buying an estate i would rather it be a rapid diesel with 500lb of torque not a petrol :chicken:
-
Just said to the mrs I will probably go for this. Could be a keeper for a few years.

Personally,I do it all at the same time :smiley:

Cool.
TBH though, if I was in the market for a Fast Petrol Estate, I'd probably look at the Audi S4 Avant.
-
I look forward to the ridiculous PCP deals!
Defo will be tempted by one...
