Try it with £1k deposit.

Edit: which is about 4%

That's more like it, in fact a no brainer surely. Though I wanted a 5 door.

£28,886.00 in 5 dr.

Cant see where you put the deposit in tbh. Maybe its on a different page.

I dont really understand finance tbh. Obv get that the bigger the deposit the cheaper the monthly payments, but dont know enough about the ins and outs to really say whats best haha.

Dcc is the magnetic ride program. 3 modes, comfort, normal and sport. Ioof.

DCC on the 7R is not magnetic ride, it's an electrically operated system that uses valves to control the flow of oil in the dampers.

There's a great explanation here (much better than I could ever do!) -

Hopefully someone soon will break the component protection so I can retrofit the nav

I'm not 100% but I seem to remember a non-UK member on here knows how to bypass the CP, and confirmed by another member who he shared the knowledge with.

He went on to say he had been contacted by Skoda directly & threatened with legal action. :(

Not sure how this ended though.

edit: thread still alive is you use search.

But I've driven a R with the normal suspension and it takes some beating.

Dsg is bullet proof. It's got bad rep but there are people on here with stellar mileages with no issues.

If this is going to be a werkend toy, then manual non-DCC is the way to go, that is the spec I have.

However, I do mainly urban, city hopping type journeys now & I would spec both the DCC & DSG next time, basically for comfort & laziness Having had a S-Tronic in my last car I do miss it when pootling round town.

That said when I do get chance to have a country lane blast the manual is much better!

Agree that dcc is something of a gimmick. I leave it in sport. Comfort is too soft, and cupra too hard. I guess if was track racing on Sunday and chauffeuring on a Monday it would be more useful perhaps.

Is it only 2 members on Briskoda that have Mk7 Golf R,  1 manual & 1 DSG?

 

Choice of setting with suspension is nice since you might drive with passengers and luggage and stuff seeing as they are road cars.

I have driven the various Golfs, & Leons, but like when i set my TV, i get lost in which settings i like best,

Colour, Sound, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Personal, Live, Movie, etc

So end up just trying to enjoy what comes up on Personal.

(Then change it when the Snooker is on.)

2 members, about 3 or 4 threads about em aha.

It must be more than 2 members. "Everyone on the internet has a Golf R"..... ;-)

We are not very high in the numbers that have a BMW i135 or Seat Leon Cupra 280,

but we have a few threads on them.

Quite a few threads on skodas though

Must be the superior cars.

Oh hang on...

Room for a few more all new 2015 Audi A1 1.8 TSI & RS3 threads pre any Briskoda owners.

Is there a separate one for cupra 280? I thought it was just merged with other VAG stuff...

Re-thinking the R then stever750.lol

No, of course not, but had I been able to find that deal, plus a much better deal on a polo, and had the leon not been made so attractive then that's where I would have gone. Tbh, I'm looking at adding to the fleet now, so a Sunday morning summer hooner, and something with an alfa V6 in it. I'll get the cupra remapped for a little extra spice but I've no plans to change it within the next 3 years.

Thanks George. Knew about second thread which isn't strictly just about the cupra!

 So offering up two fingers to the satnav will mute it? Or re-route in a more sensible direction? That would be impressive.

Lets have this in the R400 PLEASE!

Any forecasts for 2015?

Volkswagen & Vokswagen Group are liable to drop planned New models any time soon.

Export restrictions to Russia, and other Global Money issues, including falling Oil prices are quite likely to hit them badly,

along with various countries car buyers getting a bit peeded off with VW Customer services and reliability issues.

 

Less hype from them and more reliable cars rather than their growing range of cars might help them grow & make more profits.

Interesting forecast for VAG only.

I am sure China & Korea will be ramping up Car & Vehicle manufacturing as European Owned & Head quartered Manufacturers 

suffer the Financial crisis.

Vw have substantial presence in China and India for some time. I suspect the Japanese will suffer most in Europe than any of the indigenous oems elsewhere. I don't think VAG has any more critical quality issues / cost of quality than any other major manufacturer, including Toyota.

Japanese & Asian car companies have some very good manufacturing plants & HQ's in Europe with lower production costs than 

European Owned Companies.

 

VWG have indeed invested heavily in Plants in China and India, and made a right **** up in various models and components 

taking the German Way their, and forgetting they are not actuall that good at Quality Control or reading the markets.
