What next?

Hi,

Next year i will be looking for a new car. Don't worry top of my list is a Rocco R.
But i just worry that with having a 2.0 TSI GT that the change will not be as exciting as a completely different car.

Would be looking 2nd hand around the 20k mark around 3 years old and under 40k miles, bit more if the right one comes along.

Anyone gone from a 2.0 TSI to an R? How was it?

Any other car suggestions? Wanting a coupe look! Problem is i don't think there is much out there that matches the looks of the Rocco.

Thanks

It was a big change for me, but my R has a lot of options my GT didn't - I see what you mean about it not being as exciting, and can almost agree but i'd wanted this particular R for some time

Would say there is a noticeable difference in fuel consumption...

What were you getting HP/MPG with you Tuned GT Vs the R?

I thought I was getting 32ish on the old one and on my commute I could get home with an average of 40mpg if driven well. With the R id say about 22mpg and same commute im pushing it to get over 30

What was the difference in performance HP wise?

rocco R is 265 standard and the GT is 200 or 210 model dependent.

I don't think the change would be worth it but that's my opinion.
if performance is what your after, you just need the turbo really as the GT injectors & fuel pump is enough for 400bhp.

If its the road presence your after then go for the R.

260ish on the old gt, and not sure on the R. Its stage 2 but need to change the map at somepoint

I'd say go for it and get the R if it is at the top of your list. You've already acknowledged that it won't be as exciting as getting a completely different car, so I don't think you'll be disappointed. I went from a brand new 13 plate 210PS GT to a brand new 16 plate 280PS R, and there's very little difference between them really. But there is a nice novelty in getting the latest model, and that feeling hasn't faded yet, after 3 months.

Why not buy a brand new R instead of a used one - then it'll feel like more of a treat (and you get that lovely 'new car' smell!)?

In terms of fuel consumption, I've only noticed a slight difference - I was getting 40-45mpg in the 2.0 TSI, and I'm getting 35-40mpg in the R.

I think you should disregard that thought rather rapidly, and get back to thinking about something VW!!!

I've got a Golf 6R. They are defiantly a 'rare' car.. especially as there is a Golf 7R on every street in the UK
