SWAPPED MY GT TDI FOR AN R!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chani1312]

Woke up this morning with the urge to find an R found one in warrington and went down and i cannot believe that i have just swapped my gt tdo 140 to an RRRRRRRRR!!!!! getting it thursday

black, 19".......sat nav, DSG....Leather.....reverse parking.....bluetooth..............................what more can you ask for and only an extra £50 a month!!!

Happy days... I'm sure you won't regret your decision.

My RB R DSG is fantastic....you need to shift down manually if you need instant urgency otherwise the DSG will make you wait, a wait that is long enough to frustrate you!

I pay about too much for my R and I have to admit I feel a little guilty spending so much on a car. When I factor the petrol and insurance I wonder if I'm losing my marbles, but its a little late now. I will either downgrade to a golf 2.0 TDI in a few years or upgrade to a 911 or M3....depends what petrol/diesel costs in 2013!

God knows what your paying for your R, but if its only £50 pm more than a 2.0 TDI I would review the finance details very, very carefully! If they are correct... happy days....enjoy!

Good luck & be sure to floor it..... it needs to be driven fast, that way you will enjoy it!

Keep er lit.

went today to finalise my finance and it was £50 more a month! picking it up on monday......but like a fool i ordered a manuagl r gear box off ebay come through post today and still got sat nav tooo.....

[chani1312]

Got my R today.....Ohhhhhh i am sooooo loving it..from a 140 to a 265 and before that i owned an 80 bhp polo ohhhh wow the car is amazing drives gorgeous!

drinks fuel for fun....but i guess thats because i drove it hardd!

[stephen_belfast]

Happy days,

It does drink fuel and its not because you drove it hard! I've had the car for 24 days and i've spend £230 on fuel. If i'd have know that I think I would have went for a GTI. A well, its worth it as I drive up and down the roads each day and never see a car that I'd prefer to be driving.

O i did see one car....an S5 cab S tronic, blue metallic.....mmmmmmm

Keep it real!

full tank i got 197 milesss..... is that good? my gt tdi 140 scirocco i used to get easily 420 miles

Not that I own an R, but I would reckon on 300 to a tank once run in. Depending of course on how you drive it.

more Like 250, 300 would be possible on long motorway runs. The Rocco R isnt much better than my R32 was tbh.

I managed 300 on the last tank costing £70. Did include a trip to AMD averaging 33mpg tho!
