Shshivji Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi all, thought I'd say hi. I've finally found a lapiz blue 4 door golf r dsg. It's got standard equipment but even that's good spec imo. I'm super excited and have wanted one since first time I saw one. I've sold my current car which is a Audi A4 3.0tdi which was capable but quite boring to drive, this replaced a vw Scirocco 2.0tsi which was brilliant and loved every minute driving it! I'm hoping the R gives me as much excitement!! The change to the a4 was made due to starting a family, but after 9 months of ownership I knew I needed to change it, I think the golf R will give me the practicality that is also needed. Will take 7-10 days before the car is ready, so it's going to feel like a long wait! Will put some pics once I've got the car and had a chance to detail it!

I found a midnight blue one at a dealer and quicky put down a deposit over the phone to only find out when I got there last night to view it that they had double sold it!! I was gutted to say the least.. But they sourced me another in my preferred colour with lower mileage, hopefully it will be a smooth transaction from now on. 🤞 Shak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the R Shak. . Like myself finally! I went to a local dealer who I didn't gel with at all on first conversation. Looked at mk7 R lapis blue manual cloth which wasn't any of our preferred options. Mentioned we wanted red with DSG 5 door and sunroof and he said your joking! No I says! We have a new one that spec in the compound he says,but its under negotiation!Well bring it out and I'll buy it so off he goes to get it and here I am.Zero wait and 3k off driving a mk7.5 R..

Leo9 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Welcome aboard, glad things worked out for you in the end. I can pretty much guarantee that your R will not be a boring drive - for one thing you'll know you've got front wheels! (the last A4 diesels I drove I could feel nothing going on up front at all). Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shshivji Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 My car arrived at the dealer today for me to test drive... All I can say is wow!! Plenty of grunt and handles very well...I felt so connected to the car! The dealer is sorting out a few jobs including 2 wheel refurbs which were slightly marked. Should get it Thursday! Can't wait Shak Balders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
