right, why would there be info like that on a us based forum......lol

a lot of info is wrong on forums...:D

i troll around the lower mainland section. someone found a us spec r32 at a honda dealership and buying from us was questioned by one of the local guys :mad:

Nice I actually like the style of Golf R over the new Scirocco

pics of the rear?
vw seems to have a trend of disappointing design in the rear in recent years

The autoblog post has lots of pictures of the rear... looks nice!

I love the seats!

the tailights have an R8-led look to them.... i likey? :thumbsup:

Smart of them, at least they didn't name this the R20T; but I like the MKV a lot more.

wow that looks pretty nice.

have you tried one of the MK4 or MK5 R32? I think that'd be a more accurate comparison. Audis as a whole are known to be front heavy. I would think the old R32 GTIs have the suspension/balance dialed in better.
like danizer said, you don't have to pay the state tax if you're from Canada. I have a friend who bought a brand new Toyota from Washington and he didn't have to pay Washington state tax.

no i haven't... i don't know anyone with an mk4, and mk5's are even more rare... anyone out there with an r32 willing to give me seat time?!? :cry:

aznboi128, I have a VW Toureg V10 with air suspension and it has full warranty!

This is a US car that has been imported into Canada.

not bad except for the dual exhaust

WTFFFFF GAYSAUCE. I was waiting for this to come out and now there's no Canada availaiblity?!

damnit

I need those tails if I ever get the MkVI GTI

I don't get the problems with traction... its all about throttle control... just don't mash the pedal... I have more power than the average 2.0t owner and I have no issues... :thumbsup:

Also better tires could help too... when i had CH's wrapped in KDW's I had no issues... LSD helps a bit motor mounts help a bit... but in the end just control your foot especially if you drive a DSG...

And from what I hear from solid sources... Golf R is coming to Canada... :D And the other rumor is that Scirocco will make an appearance as well... :eek:

but you have a quaife do u not?

i'm not looking forward to snow tires this winter :(

yes I have an LSD...

But that only makes so much difference in slippery conditions... throttle control is the clear winner...

And snow driving is FUN... I loved bombing through the snow last year!

Too bad I won't be experiencing it in my beast this year... :(

i don't have the engine mounts either... i know they really cut down on the wheel hop, but i don't think i can stand all the vibrations.

have you taken your GLI to the track yet? any dyno numbers?

someone on golfmkv.com posted this:

It's not really a big deal you know, if you really want it just go to the US and buy one and import it... it's soooooo simple and it wouldn't cost any more than buying one here (maybe even cheaper!) especially now with the awesome exchange rate

As for mph guages... big deal, I've been driving US imported cars for 6 years and before that my 68 Mustang never even had km/h on it, you either learn to look at the smaller numbers or you remember what speeds are in MPH... 40=60, 50=80, 60=100. So simple!

The only argument for/against is whether VW honours their warranties and that I am not sure of but I've never been one to care about warranties, any car I ever owned was out of warranty or never needed work... then again this is a VW so...........
