You also are driving a Golf. To anyone who isn't knowledgeable about cars, a Golf R will look the same as a 1.4 entry level Golf... And that's a car for old ladies... That's just a fact mate and I really really do love a Golf R but that's the reason I've never considered one it just doesn't look cool.
Also got an Octavia vRS. At 300bhp.
A very practical car for motorway driving and shopping. That sort of thing.

The Golf drives like a dream. Even in snow. Whereas most BMWs would break down in tears at the thought of rain...

A couple of wolves in sheep clothing there and fun to drive.

Both for ?60k less than my mate paid for his M5...
