Hi All
Picked up my new 2 Litre VW Golf R Wolfsbug Edition Wagon yesterday. Have not had a chance to take any good photos yet so have just added a generic one, below, in the same colour as mine.
Apparently it will do 0 to 100 km/h quicker than the recently released Australian version of the V8 Ford Mustang, so looking forward to some interesting drives.

What's the emissions rating? :whistler:

You Lucky bugger, congrats on the new wheels... :goodjob2:

Who cares with a car like that. Most likely a lot less than the V8 Ford Mustang... :mrgreen:

Damn, those specs would suit my i30 :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I thought it may have been the same 2ltr turbo engine used in the Holden Astra VXR but the Astra has an extra 20Nm ( 400Nm @ 2400 - 4800rpm ) torque at 206kw @ 5300rpm.
The VW is lighter though which works to it's advantage in the 0 - 100km and fuel consumption :goodjob: Nice car Seoul-mate :goodjob2:

Oh Yum Russell.. They must be paying you too much! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Quad exhausts = extra :mrgreen:
Looking forward to more pictures and a report!

A good choice I reckon Seoul-mate. It's the same colour as my Golf R.
I'm sure you'll enjoy driving that ! :goodjob2: :happydance: :happydance:

Congratulations on the new car.
Looks great. :goodjob:

How many VWs is that now Russ?
PS. Looks good.

f**k, I get so annoyed when I see what cars cost around the World. Only 58.990 AUD !
Here that car cost "only" 676.400 DKK which is around 139.800 AUD... :faint: I just hate our car taxes. :disapp:

I'd swear too if I was paying those prices.

That's a crazy price Henning.
But I'm told those prices negate the need for some other taxes as well as providing a high standard of living. Is that true? Or are we being misled down here?

We now have two VWs Trev, Sandra has a Polo GTI and I have the Golf R Wagon

Wow Henning, that is an amazing price!!
The Australian government is considering future police pursuit vehicles and there is a possibility that they may use the Golf R Wagon......

Propably not Trev. We have free health care and free education, things I really value, but I think it's crazy we need to pay those prices for new cars. When I bought my i30 it was 3 years old with 125.000 km, it came at the nice price of 130.000 DKK ca 27.000 AUD. I believe you can get a brand new i30 for that price.

Yep. :disapp: You can imagine why we have so many VW UP and Toyota Aygo/Citroen C1 on our roads... :undecided:

Of those choices, yours is probably the best combo of cost, economy and performance. I'd have one! :victory:

Looks like the same article, perhaps more readable.

As you will see from the article, won't be the Australian Government. Each state will go their own way.....
