I’m kicking around the thought of getting an R maybe MK6 but most likely MK7, but am on the fence about a few things. I have been lusting after an R for a couple years.
I currently own a 2011 GTI and love it. The versatility and practicality of it is awesome. I’m not making a ton of power but the traction is limited even now.The hatch aspect is perfect for what I need for camping, biking, dog, people hauling, active lifestyle etc.
I also own a 1999 Corvette C5 that resides in the garage most of the time. I have moved to Austin and rarely drive the Vette seeing how everything is so close. I work from home so “enjoying” the commute to work is nonexistent. I have had my Vette for 11 years and feel like it’s time to move on.
I am debating selling my Vette and trading in/selling my GTI to have one Golf R.
The question is, will the R fill the performance aspect void that I will have if I sell my Vette? (Different animals, I know) After a few mods, I’m sure the speed and handling will be more than enough. What do you love/hate about your R??
