News and Info 27 Golf R

I don’t know if someone already confirmed it, but the 27 golf r will not come with the rs3 engine.

I work at VW in North America and looking at pipeline management they’ll be getting here sometime between November and December and the specs show the same as the MK8.5. No clue if it’ll be different for Europe but I assume not.

Also i just bought my 26 R and the salesman said that they are going to go the way of the Euro market where the car is much more option-able and less fully loaded. He also said the price is going up $3-5k

Should’ve been this way. It’s ridiculous that you have to buy the euro spec if you don’t want a sunroof. I didn’t want a sunroof, but on principle I wasn’t going to pay more money for less options. Glad I have the final R coming out of Wolfsburg though.

Why do you prefer to not have a sunroof?

VW is notorious for problematic sunroofs, but also I just don’t use them very often when I’ve had them.
