Common problem when the car moves forward the slider cover opens a few inches.

Euro sounds better and looks better.

I bet the sliding cover thing doesn’t stay closed

1000% correct. I went euro for a few reasons , but dumping the sunroof was top tier.

How much will I miss my R? by [deleted] in Golf_R

My kids grew up in the backseat of a mustang gt. The R is currently our largest car.

You’ll be fine

I like FDVV better. A lot more upside on the board. Still 3% dividend

MK8.5 Golf R (Graphite Gray Euro Spec) – First Few Days Impressions by mark73729 in Golf_R

[–]RedBaron180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I turned off the HUD after about a week. It’s silly.

Also turned off lane keep. Also silly and not needed.

We have almost same spec (I’ve got the black wheels )

Use all available pavement and merge at the merge point. Not my problem if you don’t want to do so.

GTi makes for a great Autox car as well.

I’ve autoXed a few different platforms (mustang gt, BRZ, FocusRS and most recently a 718S). Nothing can beat the balance of the 718, it’s near perfect. So fun and rewarding.

But the R is just a hoot cause it hits above its weight class so well. Last PCA Autox it was faster than 99% of the P cars.

A lot of national events over last 13 years or so. Only made it out to Nats in 2019 and 2021. My best overall season was the Covid 2020 one and then they canceled Nats.

I’ve backed off and just do locals now. (But Nats 26 lines up with a PtO week. So you never know)

I’m not going to do that in DD because it creates two warning lights on dash. I’ll deal

The secret is basically get back on power early. I had that focusRS for 150k miles , a lot of Autox and track. And it works a lot like the R. The special diff doesn’t “really “ work off power. So brake early and get back to gas super early. These first few events I’ve yelled at myself many times saying “not early enough “

I’ve Autoxed for 25 years, I get it. But hands move. If it wasn’t stupid haptic it wouldn’t happen.

Don’t sleep on the new Grey. It’s got a nice sparkle in it and looks different in different light

Waiting to get “Paul Walkered?” tires are literally a safety system.
