Nice R!. You will be the exception to the typically R owner rolling around here who seems to have a chip on their shoulder showing/telling you at every opportunity that the R is as good or better than it's more expensive German counterparts... ![Wink ;)](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/wink.gif)
I thought that only US R owners were like that.
After these few days I am pretty sure that it is not a high end car, it is an awd Golf GTI which was always just a fast economy hatch but a dry refined one!
It surprises me the things it doesn’t have. Power folding mirrors, a gas hood strut, a spare wheel( I do see the problems there, but it could have had run-flats as an option), a separate quick start manual for the infotainment Even as options I would have taken all but the run flats and might have taken those.
For all that whining, it is truly great to drive…for people like me who like the DSG and prefer small turbo engines to bigger NA engines.
