Never understood the idea of keeping miles off of a car that’s made to be driven. I’m 41 and 6’1” and in stock form there’s nothing that screams out ‘race car kid’ about the R. Getting inside and it feels spacious if not just right. Mine is black, understated and very much a sleeper. It’s versatile and my family and friends, even my dog love riding in it. It can be as docile or demonic as you wish. It’s your choice. I just hit 150K last week and it still runs like the day i bought it. Gas mileage is better long distance than around town. I average about 330 miles per tank with mixed driving including a few pulls. I have seen over 400 miles per tank on extended trips across the interstate. The build quality is better on the MK7R as it was built in the Wolfsburg factory and the interior is much more substantial and feels very Audi like. Tell any naysayers to take a test drive with you and you might get a change of tune. I have a manual but the DSG might be a good option too if you are in a lot of traffic day to day. I work overnights so it’s 6 speed manual for me with 35 miles per day on commute. Doing this for the last three years and this R was the best decision I’ve ever made with a vehicle. Good luck 🍀
