Was not sure about the DSG so we were offered a test drive in an R32 with DSG. Decision made!! Expensive option at £1330.00 but if we keep the car 4 years then I figure it's only £332 per year, plus the paddle shift on the m/f steering wheel is good too, he-he. Here is a question though: Why are SEAT only charging £900 for the DSG on their 240 bhp Leon Cupra and VW can charge £1330. I am willing to bet they are the self same gearboxes. PS. Anyone interested in a Silver 22,000 mile 25th. Anniversary Golf which has had one very careful owner (my wife). It is absolutely spotless and has cruise control as one of the options. Will be available Feb/March. Merry X'mas to you all. Just ordered a 5 door DSG in Steel Grey. Was not sure about the DSG so we were offered a test drive in an R32 with DSG. Decision made!!

This does not count special editions like the Golf GTI Edition 30 which has the same engine tuned to make 230 horses. This might give us a view to what a refreshed Golf GTI’s engine will be producing, since even the Golf R32 will be replaced with an R36 that makes more power. Anyway, I digress, this is supposed to be about the Leon Cupra!

the rims would still look better with the original color.

My friend said he drove an old Golf before... is a stock Golf.... the engine still powerful without any tunings inside... thumbs up for VW... hehe...

But recognizable. But I think can be easily immitated by the standard version. Not much different from the standard model. But recognizable.
