Aug 4, 2014 · I have owned 2X MK 7 Golf R's and 2X GTI MK 7's , all with APR stage 1 DSG. Here is some of my thinking: Golf R, a bit more weight (vs GTI) makes a difference. Steering feels more weighted, dull on center & tends to understeer. Unflappable, will not lose traction under WOT and sticks to the road almost freakishly.

Aug 19, 2020 · The Golf R has no front LSD, and this is a big weakness for non-straight line driving vs the GTI (with PP/VAQ diff).

Sep 24, 2021 · But - psychologically, you might feel a lot better if you bought the R, because then you know, even if it doesn't feel very fast, that you're driving a car with a sub 5 second 0-60 time, vs a car that most of the time won't break 6 seconds in real life. (Even with the GTI, when you are in sports mode above 2300 RPM, you will pass most "normal ...

Dec 1, 2022 · Making the jump from a gti to a R very soon and i’m unsure if the 7.5 is worth it. Is the 7spd dsg any smoother than the 6spd dsg? It would be a few thousand more for a 7.5 and i’m curious if anyone has gone from one to the other and been happy with it

Jan 20, 2022 · My R is going in for a custom 4” DP here next week with a 4” G-Sport GESI cat. Nick at 485 Designs here in Denver does top notch work. He may be offering these off the shelf for R’s if anyone is interested. Pricing set to be in line with Trackslag. This is his RS3 DP to get a look at his work.

Nov 26, 2018 · Was researching depreciation between gti and r, I looked up the used car private party value on 2016 gti se and 16 R on kelly blue book , both with 50,000 miles. Gti se= 16,400 R=27,100 From my research you could get the R in 2016 for about 38-40,000. GTI SE for about 28,000 after deductions...

Oct 15, 2017 · A wins a win bud, but a aggressive or high tq tuned dsg R shouldn’t be losing that badly to a tuned is20 from a roll, I’ve seen closer roll races with stage 2 R’s vs is38 swapped and tuned gti’s, unless you’ve done some serious weight shedding.
