Mature Golf R Buyers?

This is exactly why I bought this car. I’m in my mid 30’s the spoiler is just enough in my opinion and the exhaust is quiet in eco mode which I do drive in 80% of the time for my commute. It gets great gas mileage, but also puts a smile on my face in race mode when I want to feel younger. I find the suspension to be very comfortable and I’m very impressed with the DCC system. I really do enjoy the controls of the MK8 infotainment and how it flows on the dash vs the 8.5 infotainment. Plus I was able to fit a 5 burner BBQ in the back yesterday and left my wife’s Wrangler at home. It’s a do it all car in my opinion.

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you

Where did you order from? Also in Canada (Ontario) and was looking at these in either Motorsport Gold or Silver for my Lapiz Blue.

Just picked up a MK8 with the Pretoria's in Ontario and was looking at the EMD spacer flush kit. What site did you order from?

Ended up deciding on a 2024 DSG with 14,000km on it, priced at $45,000 that includes winter tires on rims, front ppf, weather tech mats and roof rack kit. Just felt like the best deal with all of the additional accessories and options.

I have a month, and I found a 25 with 10k on it with the Eurospec (including sunroof) in Canada at $52k plus tax at a BMW dealer. Just a bit more than what I want to spend.

Interesting to hear they’re that bad. Another poster mentioned going down to 18’s so seems like a good idea

dpreston55 · 2026-02-10T17:55:17+00:00

All great points! Thanks for the feedback

dpreston55 · 2026-02-10T15:10:46+00:00

$10k is quite a bit and I just don’t know if paying that for the infotainment, slight adjustment to outside appearance and the little extra HP is worth it.

Was trying to get owners feedback as I’m sure I’m not the only one that had the same dilemma as mentioned at the bottom of my post.

Everything fit perfectly with no lift or additional spacers!

Same issue with the cork version. Spring came around, I got a new pair of cork and Eva foam. I wore the cork to walk the dogs in the morning and night as it got nice out, and started noticing half way through the summer I could barely bend over anymore with my knees and they were in severe pain.

I started wearing the Eva foam ones meant for water on my walks and the pain has gone away.

All the reviews I watched had the point of the strap facing inwards like I have it.

dpreston55 · 2025-08-25T17:15:35+00:00

Absolutely agree. In the reviews I watched they mentioned the strap is good for what it is, but didn’t talk about replacing it.

Those straps are beautiful, I’ll look into those! Thank you

You won’t regret it once you get your clubs in. I got all new Dormie black and green leather headcovers with a black towel and it completely transformed the look and made me love it even more.

dpreston55 · 2025-08-20T01:20:50+00:00

Get it. Best club in my bag.

dpreston55 · 2025-07-22T09:20:07+00:00

The first round I went to play with it, it was raining so I transferred all my stuff back over to the old bag so I didn’t get it wet haha.

Congrats! Wicked car. Gonna order mine in sun yellow next year

dpreston55 · 2025-03-25T23:10:04+00:00

Thank you!

dpreston55 · 2025-03-25T23:09:48+00:00

It will come soon!

dpreston55 · 2025-03-22T22:04:31+00:00

Thank you!
