I think you have already made your mind up Red Robin, but you are currently in a stage of denial.

What options are you going to go for. grin.gif

....I've always worn my heart on my sleeve!! I think you are right, I would bet on myself going for it too, particularly as the Mk5 R32 may be viewed as an upgraded version of the GTI rather than such a totally different car. BUT, my final decision depends on test driving the .:R and how she FEELS.

To be honest, I do anticipate wanting one and I have already investigated the costs including sale of my GTI and insurance etc. so, of course, I know which options I would be choosing IF. Rather than spend time listing them now, I'll come back later, but I would def include DSG and cloth Recaros and sunroof....And probably a Milltek exhaust to better hear that glorious V6 sound I would have spent all that extra money on getting!! I must say that my Hi-flow straight through Milltek Quads on my GTI delivers probably the finest 4-pot sound you could hear. I've always been easily seduced by a fine exhaust note! Ladies, you've been told!

And yes, nicks3, I have indeed been warned!

No, my first sunroof was my 1989 Beemer and I've always loved them (and disliked cabs/convertibles). I've hung out in parts of the world with hot climates and strongly believe in shade! It's the same reason I always wear baseball caps and (prescription) eye shades. The Mk5 Golf sunroof is one of the very best cos it's got minimal wind noise and no draught and has a useful variety of settings. I use it primarily for ventilation and occasionally waving at people!!

Hi Nick! 169144-ok.gif

Just a line to agree with you on your test drive observations, particulary in relation to the DSG box and your comparisons with the gti, the gti is a great car, but I have to say the new MK5 R32 is a very quietly, understated,solitaire diamond of a car beerchug.gif

I think JC actually summed the car up rather well, with no real fanfare & fireworks:

It really, really is a good car...........

DSG is excellent in a gti, but with this engine,it is an absolute riot!!!! jump.gif

the more I drive this car, the more I appreciate how bloody good it is, at everything you ask of it.

It really does do everything, very, very well........ bowdown.gif

Well after sampling the delight's of the new recaros, would'nt have them on a 3dr, as the access mechanism and clearance into the back is nowhere near as good as the Koenigs were........

Cant understand why they did'nt use Koenigs on the new car?

Probably cost too much...............

But there again if are buying a 3 not a 5 door, then passengers are not a priority!!!

Well this post makes perfect sense............. not!
