Well fuck that's AWESOME!!! @ TURK!!!

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

We'd put the base price somewhere between $35,000 and $40,000, with loaded versions easily cresting $40,000

without mods

without mods

I don't understand your post?

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

times are impressive, price not so much

times are impressive, price not so much

Did you think this car was $20,000 or something?

 

[Blood on Blood]

Price of new vehicles in general are ridiculous

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Did you think this car was $20,000 or something?

No....but it should be mid 20s IMO

 

[LoveSpank]

No....but it should be mid 20s IMO

Explain... for what u pay u are getting one hell of a ride.

 

[syP]

He is a cheap ass that's why

 

[LoveSpank]

Puh!!!! Good explanation

 

[Turk]

Car is great for 35k imo. Drive a GTI, you'll be impressed.

Just my opinion. Never said it was a bad car, just a little overpriced.

 

[LoveSpank]

I believe all cars are getting overpriced its getting ridiculous

Are you confusing the R with a regular GTI? Because those are mid 20s...

All things considered its a decent car all around for the price. Evo/sti are the same base price as the R and they are all about the same

Yea everything now is overpriced in general terms

I've always felt the R was just not reasonable. First off, the car is amazing mk4 r32 was the best.

Back in the 2004 day...
The prices the are asking for a R is almost always like $1-3 shy of evo/sti money. Which makes it a tough sell least to me.... not a bad car but just a car I would overlook if I was in the market for a R. I assume now it's about the same... but least they bought back the manual Trans, kept the awd and added a turbo in the last Gen.

Some reviews have said it performs better than the Sti. Mook posted an article recently that said that but I'm on my phone and can't find it.

 

[Yaj Yak]

that's fucking awesome.

i feel like the focus rs will have a lot to live up to.

 

[PANDA]

[MENTION=61]The Broken Regal[/MENTION] needs to sell the TR for this

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

that's fucking awesome.

I have heard the RS is getting a slightly larger turbo than the 2.3L EB in the Mustang, which may give it better potential if true. But I didn't see any specs, so no real clue here.

But the RS is going to be a true manual, so I expect that AWD or not, its acceleration numbers aren't going to be as good being that the average person takes 3-4x the time to shift compared to a DCT.

That said, the RS is still on my wish list.

How old are you? I could see wanting an Evo or Sti over this if I was 25 or younger but at 31 I'll take the Golf R all day. No offense Mook.

My guess is stock for stock the RS will be more raw and a better performer. The modding community will be a lot better for the Golf R.

 

[Outlaw]

I'd take the Golf R over an Evo/ STI all fucking day. At least you're not paying $40,000 for shitty plastic subaru interior.

All of these cars (RS, Golf R, etc.) are kind of boy racer-ish.

I'd probably lean towards a nice used S4 like Vogz's over the Golf R.

29,

evo,sti,golf r. While nice and etc. I can't spent 35-40k on it. Rather get something 20k used.
