New Golf R

[Ad Lav]

Must admit the exhaust isn't that exciting.

Expected a better note, even the miltek sounds a bit meh

[Brimma]

WTF, That's some spec @£42490 for the 3DR, DSG - R :http://usedcars.volkswagen.co.uk/Golf-GTI/GTD/R/2.0-TSI-R-300-PS-DSG/Stratford-upon-Avon/3853634-605063762-70076.aspx?srcmdc=se_na_re_

I'd want 18ct gold JPS decals and wheels on a Golf to get anywhere near justifying that price

I'd love a Golf R or Golf GTD estate, sadly they won't seat 3 car seats on the second row hence buying a Touran.

The new Touran will have an option for R-line apparently.

Enjoy the Touran(TSI or TDI) for your family needs - I had a Sharan some years ago for my tribe, was great and fit for purpose.

 

Hope the Touran exhaust note meets with your approval - Milltek / other  options available?lol

It's a diesel never going to sound amazing.

Just surprised the Golf R sounded like it did - stock sounds fine but the Miltek made it a bit farty. Was it res or non res?

[Ad Lav]

I do wonder if it's the dsg box doing it no favours in the sound area?

The Scorpion I fitted to Karens (170CR TDi) TT actually sounded quite nice.... granted not as nice as a petrol engine but better than most petrol vRS’s I have herd! 

[Gizmo]

I agree that Miltek system is not a great sound... and thats being far too fair on it.

FWIW and I'm overtly willy waving I know, but I embarrassed a young thrusting type in a suit and a Golf R a couple of days ago. Just thought you should know Keith

You were the bugger that cut me up!! You bugger. Must have been on that very dry, straight road then

 

Young thrusting - that's a No then. Suited and booted No !

 

Chilled ,laid back, quick  but unhurried - Yes! That's me.

Time that somebody needs to see a Doctor maybe,

i know one that is a specialist in car exhaust noises with a good knowledge of BMW noises in the head,

just be sure it is not Dr Fox you go to.

Unfortunately Tom I won't be able to meet up at the aforementioned event ,as I'm up to my eyeballs in family this weekend . Plus a bit of work,domestic and pleasure.

Trying to fit in a test drive, for my own peace of mind,in the RS3.My mate at the Audi dealership has offered me a test window or two.Taking it out for an extended drive, mixed road and semi- track location nearby.

So sorry mate but maybe in the not to distant future. I'm looking forward to a comparative drive, with my Partner's Brother-in-law, New R Estate when he chops in his Merc for it in Sept.

Airfield and good country lanes near his place in Derbyshire.
