Been loitering on the forums for years now, always meant to do a build thread of my wagon but have never got round to it.
Won’t be to everyone’s taste, I’m sure, but here’s my 2018 Golf R (7.5) estate. Bought to replace an S3 Sportback for financial and space reasons when we became parents-to-be, it’s fast become an all-consuming project for me. I think I’m pretty much finished now. THINK…
It’s currently at about 500hp and 600Nm, with appropriate suspension and brake upgrades. And still our daily family bus!
Love this. I had a 7.0 Golf R wagon but never got around to modifying it. Your car is seriously tempting me back. Won’t be to everyone’s taste, I’m sure, but here’s my 2018 Golf R (7.5) estate.

This has been the perfect combination for me for nearly 6 years and I really struggle to think what to replace it with.

Answer: Don't. I had a 2.0 XT for 13 years from new and have regretted selling it most days since. And that wasn't even an STi. The way they move around at speed on gravel roads makes them one of the most under-rated cars.Jim on the hill said:

You really should do a RR thread, 500bhp must be fun in that.Won’t be to everyone’s taste, I’m sure, but here’s my 2018 Golf R (7.5) estate.

Can everyone with Alpinas please stop posting them? I have only just bought my E63 and I have huge Alpina envy First I had an initial dose (I test drove way back in October 2020), but that just made the symptoms worse.
I then opted for surgery (of the wallet - and placed an order). However, since then it has become chronic envy and is exacerbated by current owners posting here.
I referred myself back to Sytners, who gave me a second stronger dose (I was loaned a car over night (the very car featured in the PH Review) and in the same colour I ordered).
But alas, the only long term treatment is a car transplant.

That's a crazy price, I paid about £9,500 for mine and was 40,000 at the time. I can't see them as becoming mainstream classics but they do really hit the spot. If you have two dogs, like mountaineering and like to travel Europe by road it's the car for you... Admittedly small market
Just the one dog and too fat to mountaineer, but I do like a road trip. Looks like yours will be appreciating.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
