Wow. The car is by no means perfect but it definitely isn’t as bad as he suggests in the review. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same for my MK7.5, the volume would get stuck on Spotify and had to switch to radio to fix. It’s now happening on the MK8, appears a CarPlay issue more than a specific Car one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After spending a good bit of time going through all the super insightful comments and pictures on this thread - I came to the conclusion I've been washing my cars wrong all my life and know nothing! 😆

True. That makes a lot of sense Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Firstly great news! And I know what you mean, I ordered in July with a December estimated delivery and expected a delay into 2022. Got a call in November to say the car was in the UK and picked it up last week. Just feels quite random as to when people will get their cars but I’m sure there must be some logic behind what is getting built and when. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Amazing [emoji23] that is a perfect picture to sum it up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I opted for the pano as my previous golfs didn’t have one. I haven’t used it yet since I getting the car but the weather isn’t ideal! [emoji943] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I appreciate not all have had the same experience but I can recommend Citygate. I bought my MK6 GTI, MK7.5 R and now MK8 R from them. It helps I’ve always dealt with the same team who have been great throughout. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ouch! That’s brutal, was there any other damage to the car? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That would be a great result if so, and hopefully they’ll reduce the price of the PP too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@flipflops I'm not sure if you've made your way down yet but if Westfield London (White City) then the car park is pretty decent and operates quite late into the night. There are 5 extra wide spaces near toward the exit of the M&S middle car park which is patrolled regularly by security. If you happen to see a white Golf R MK8 parked up in one then it's probably me. 😉

That's a great spec @MattH84, I was 50/50 on the Heads Up display initially but very glad I went for it in the end.

Touch controls for the lights are a nice feature too. Indeed. A strange decision to remove it.

The heated steering wheel has been a revelation.

Completely agree. In some areas the M8R feels like it's regressed slightly (it does feel more plastic in some places) but then in other areas they've upped the quality considerably.
