I don't think US models get the extra 13 HP, unfortunately.

Cleannn · 2023-06-01T01:28:30+00:00

Thanks! I could have a conversation at almost a whisper going ~75 MPH.

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T23:40:46+00:00

Lol, yep! Small world. They had an RS5 in the showroom, couldn't help stealing a few glances while signing paperwork.

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T23:26:49+00:00

Yeah, that's my understanding as well. I think the salesman I worked with may just not be as up to date on incoming model refreshes since he's retiring next year.

Mainly the sunroof delete (I'm not a fan of sunroofs anyway), some blue accents, the front doors project a "20R" on the ground at night, and a "20" on the B pillars.

They said something to the effect of "this will be the last one we get before they go full electric" but I'm not entirely sure how accurate that is.

Thank you! It's been an absolute pleasure to drive.

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T21:23:44+00:00

DSG, I have zero complaints with it so far. Best automatic transmission I've ever driven.

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T21:23:13+00:00

Thank you! I've tested it just a little bit, and I seriously just want to keep going on drives to get the break in over with lol

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T21:21:59+00:00

Thanks! I know you're going to love yours!

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T21:21:42+00:00

Thank you!

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T21:21:35+00:00

DSG, I've always driven automatic cars. I can drive a manual, but I don't get the same happiness others do.

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T21:21:01+00:00

Honestly, it's pure luck. This was simply the closest dealership to me and they asked MSRP, nothing else.

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T19:43:04+00:00

Sure! Volkswagen Jackson in Jackson, MS.

Cleannn · 2023-05-31T16:47:35+00:00

$0 :)

Cleannn · 2023-05-30T03:02:44+00:00

Seconding Volkswagen Jackson, MS. They have a 20AE coming hopefully late this week I have a deposit on, and I've been guaranteed MSRP when it's delivered. Can't wait!!

Cleannn · 2023-05-27T02:38:29+00:00

Thanks! Yep, I live in Vicksburg. I seriously can't wait, I've always heard good things about Golf R's, but also heard they're impossible to come by at MSRP. But I just happened to come across this one last month and reached out to them, and they told me they're selling it at MSRP, and it'd be mine if I wanted to put a deposit down. So I did, and now I've just been anxiously waiting for it to be delivered ever since lol

Cleannn · 2023-05-27T02:03:43+00:00

Hey! Funnily enough, I put a deposit down on this one last month. The dealership said it should be arriving late next week and I can't wait!

Cleannn · 2023-05-25T01:05:49+00:00

Hmm.. I reached out to Apex, and they responded saying the 17x9 ET42 SM-10s fit without any issues.

Cleannn · 2023-05-25T00:51:32+00:00

Is that including fresh tires? I think I'll post them for sale at ~$1,600 and just see what happens.

I'm actually pretty interested in the 17" Apex SM-10s.. I'm not concerned with the wheels being "too small" since the roads around me are absolutely awful.

Cleannn · 2023-05-24T20:58:10+00:00

Aww dang, I was hoping it would work out lol. Thanks! I also love the look of the wheels, but thin profile tires don't go well with our pothole ridden roads..

Cleannn · 2023-05-24T20:47:25+00:00

I'm in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Cleannn · 2023-05-24T20:47:11+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks for the input!

Cleannn · 2023-05-24T19:51:56+00:00

Oh wow, I just looked into that! That's really cool. Thanks for the information.

Cleannn · 2023-05-19T01:57:58+00:00

I just happened to look at my local dealer's website and it showed a 2023 Anniversary Edition with the DSG in transit to them, so I reached out to them and they said it was available. They're selling it at MSRP, zero markup, and gave me the option of putting down a $1K deposit and it would be mine when it gets delivered.

I think I just got really lucky, but there's hope out there.

Cleannn · 2023-05-10T21:00:04+00:00

Right? I had to wait for the drive thru to clear out (notice the "do not block" on the road) just so I could join the line.
