I think Stevie Wonder did that part. The rest looks good as it would being a Mk7 GTI.

Damn. Looks better than the R. Subjective. It's going to make me desperately want the R400 when it's announced.

The ones in the top picture are :drool:, they're like a twisted version of the V10 R8 wheels.

At least now I have a car that I know I'd like to upgrade to in the future. :drool:
265PS is a good base to start working with. :evilgrin:

Manual????? Crasey Chermans! :signLOL:

Haha I know it sounds silly, but with them only making the R estates in DSG and not yet conforming whether or not they'd make these in manual I was worried since I wouldn't buy a DSG one.

25th anni still look good if you can find a unmolested one.And as soon as you get it you molest it

25th anni still look good if you can find a unmolested one.They do. I loved my mk4, but the mk5 is just so much better to drive.

Today's rumours suggesting half cage option and mechanical LSD rather than Haldex.
I would hope its an LSD, haldex would ruin the idea of the GTI.
Post by: GrayMK5GTI on May 25, 2015, 07:40:42 pm
Starting to wonder if the R is the right choice. :ashamed:
The delivery time is on the R is 20% longer than you've ever kept a car for :signLOL:
Nahhh stick with the R. This is the Golf version of the Seat Leon Cupra :laugh:

I mean the Haldex e-LSD like the GTI's perf pack, not the faux-4WD version.

Ahhh sorry didn't realise that's what it was called, haldex means 4WD to me, yeah a mechanical one would be much better.

Post by: GrayMK5GTI on May 26, 2015, 11:50:47 am
Isn't the fancy Leon a lot faster around a track than an R with only 2WD and that Haldex diff?
Now imagine what they could do with the GTI if they really tried....
The Leon 280 is marginally faster around a tight track than the R (Autoexpress have a video on Youtube)

Yes but rumoured to have non std sticky tyres and was factory "Tweaked"
Bear in mind the lack of 4Wd weight means that the lack of 20hp evens it out, Cant see the Seat getting near the R it if its wet tho :happy2: :happy2:

The R is a nice car and very quick but I'm worried that in 2 years the used prices will drop due to the increased volume of them sold on these cheap lease deals. The R400 is going to be out of my price range and with 3 VW dealers within 100mile radius the one I deal with all the time is furthest away he has 6 firm orders, the 2nd closest one has 13 firm orders and the closest one i refuse to use as they are a shower of sh*t!
Will have to make a decision soon and just go for it.
Post by: Bane on August 07, 2015, 11:20:58 pm
Is it an Anniversary edition or a GTI Clubsport in the vein of the Porsche 928 Clubsport models?
Will it be linited numbers?
When is it available in the UK and why,oh,why is the VW UK website so sh*te at giving information on upcoming models like this, when every motoring website is trying to get the scoop on it?
I want one.... but I want more info on them,now.
I want to know what they drive like and whether It's worth chopping my beloved Edition30 in for, or will I be disappointed?
Come on VW UK,don't be a dick about this car! :mad: :P
