New Golf R on the way

[Doth1]

so you paid msrp on the R and got the trade you wanted on the gti plus goodies?

congrats.

Yes, that is exactly what the end result was. I think in the end, I just wanted to feel like I was respected and getting an OK deal, didn't have to be an amazing deal.

nothing wrong with that. you didn't pay over msrp so good enough.

so now you gotta post your feedback on the comparison of both cars.

I had 40,300 miles with my beloved GTI, so I got to know it quite well. I will wait a while until I am far more familiar with the R to make any real comparisons. But after less than 100 miles on the R, I can tell you that it is unbelievable on the mountain twisties.

Aaahhhhhh white. I should have waited. I would have paid MSRP for white. What dealership?

Capitol VW in San Jose.

They must have just gotten it recently since I'd looked on cars.com for fun last week and there were 2 cars within 250 miles of Sac. 1 black in Sacramento and 1 red in the bay somewhere.

This one was ordered specifically for me, but I know they had two that came in a month ago. One white and one black, both with Nav and DCC.
