2015 Golf R. STi's new headache
 

290 hp awd, 3200 ish lbs, huge brake, 19s stock, 0 to 60 in 4.9 with dual clutch auto... 34 k. sounds like win to me, wife is getting one when her Gti is up next year... should make some good pwr with a reflash and exhaust. prob a 12 sec car for under 2 grand in mods and throw down 35+ mpg...

Its no Mustang, but they might piss you off, especially off the green light.

Always been a fan of Golfs. Just sucks they are such a pain for maintenance after the warranty.

Post some pics, dork!

Golfs are WWD right?

-Alex

Regular ones are, the R is the R32 replacement, theyve always been Audi awd...

Haha, hot hatches making a comeback. Finally VW is giving it enough power to stay with the rest of the rest of the pack. Still will have a hard time if it is still FWD...or WWD as Dom put it.

Will this have the 2.5t. Essentially the TT rs motor?

For Steve that cant find the google search,:) The blue is specific for the R cars, and seriously bad ass imo

This is what ours will look like, color and wheel option.

Am I the only one who thinks it's nuts to spend nearly $40k on a VW? lol

no, it has the new EA888, 2.0 with a fuck ton of boost. I think its a factory T04 turbo.

Crimson, ITS ALL WHEEL DRIVE. :favorites37:

6 speed manual or DSG which is like an E gear or PDK. DSG is 3 tenths faster to 60...:iranmaybe:

I suppose, our current Autobahn was 34k and its a really nice car... Id rather have this car for the same price though.:chewie:

I dig it. A few upgrades to this car will have it handing a good number of Mustangs their tails.

I like everything but, I wouldn't spend $40k on it. Not my style for that kind of money.

-Alex

I love that hot hatches are finally making a comeback. They can be really fun to drive, usually get great gas mileage, and are somewhat functional. I want to go play around in one.

Its not 40 k. Its 34 loaded. R's have no options besides how many doors you want. 4 doors only at launch, hopefully the 2 door comes around next summer. They are the same length, but the 2 door looks sportier to me and is about 50 lbs lighter.

Oh okay cool, thanks for clearing that up.

Any interior picks? Curious to see how much Bugatti influence is in this car.

-Alex

After financing, taxes and interest, it's a $40k car. I know the bottom line isn't your strong suit, but you have to be real here. lol

Making a huge assumption. Not everyone has terrible credit. The car itself is one price. That's the question. Your arguement is like including maintenance as the actual price to buy the car.

-Alex

I disagree. Unless you pay cash, those will be factors involved in the cost of the car when you sign the papers for the car. It's simple math.

I only come up with about $37k after TT&L. :shrug:

You don't include financing, IMO, since not everyone finances.

Most people finance, it's a reasonable assumption. Matt would definitely finance it since he doesn't care about the bottom line. All he cares about is the monthly payment.

Not the case. The price of the car, and the price to finance a car are not the same thing.

The MSRP is the cost of the car, period. The cost to finance a car is not the same as the price to buy the car. By your logic, we could assume the car is a $50k or even $60k car as well if you want to assume the cost after financing based on some people's credit:iranmaybe:

-Alex

Ford is bring the RS over next year. Will have the 4cyl mustang engine. Ruh ROh.

I read they ruled out AWD for the RS and in spite of that, id buy a golf r.

Have you ever owned a AWD car?

And that's a problem?

Actually yea...

He didn't quote your post, Brandon.

I disagree.

Not for a baller like yourself.

Yes, B5 S4.

traded an MS3 for the mustang in 2011.

THe weight will be down is the reasoning behind staying FWD. The car will also have LSD.

SO?

Everything financed has a bottom line. When my house is paid for itll cost me over 350 grand. Is it a 350 k house? No its a gd 200 k house. Same goes for cars and everything in life that isnt paid cash for. Same thing can also be said for a new Mustang etc, you cant add that and taxes in to the total because its just part of the deal. I mean you can but its not comparing apples. I personally think this car is worth 34 k. A new Mustang not so much.

The market maybe 200k, but if you pay 350k for the house, then that is what it cost you. Same for the car. If the car is 34k, but it costs you $40k due to everything added on to it, then it cost you 40k. If you have to finance the car, it's no longer 34k. You wouldn't be able to leave the dealership with it without the added expenses to the car unless you pay cash. It's pretty black and white.

I dont see it as a problem. Steve and I are in different worlds, he acts like my grandparents about buying cars,and thats cool, but I dont keep cars forever, I fucken HATE selling cars to lowballing pricks because everyone thinks they are Richard Rawlings, so I prefer to lease a daily car so Im not stuck with it or fucked being upside down. Case in point, my CC is worth about 14 grand and I owe 18... in 4 months I wont owe a gd thing because Im giving it back to VW... just saved about 4 grand after payments...:chewie:

All that said, leasing this car wikk be at LEAST 300/mo cheaper than leasing a similar sticker priced Mustang... thats about 11 grand i save in 3 years in payments...

Spin it how you wish, ts a 34 k sticker car. Thats what Dom and everyone posting asked...

All depends

It's not just with you LMAO

but you know that already

I hate debt, even more so I hate wasting money. As it is, you are taxed when you earn your money. Taxed again when you spend it. Then certain people who love to run up their credit card bills want to add interest in addition to being taxed.

Leasing a car is a waste of money in my opinion. Look at your situation now, you have months left on your lease and running out of miles and now you're sweating your transportation issues.

Leasing a car is fine for people who aren't up to their eyeballs in debt and are okay knowing they will always have a payment and never own anything out right.

I don't mind spending money, I just rather be smart as possible about it and get the most for the money, not the other way around.
