Are there any demos around yet guys? Thought I read that there are a few Golf demos now at dealers?

Cheers,

James.

Bit of a strange one as there was talk of demo R's becoming available, but it seems strange that VW dealers would want to demo a limited number car except for magazine/TV review purposes.

My dealer did say in about October they would be getting an R demo but didnt know if this would be a Roc or a Golf but no sign yet and to be honest i cant see it happening.
Maybe the main delerships in say London might get them just to showcase them. :shrug:

This isn't a demo car though, it is a customer's car it seems, according to ryancooke

I think it will be ordered as a demo so the dealer gets an extra allocation, but really it's reserved for a customer so will probably sit in the compound for 2 months rotting until it gets registered march 1st maybe. Poor roc!

When I took my car in for a service in December, the dealer (Wantage, west Oxon) indicated that they would not be getting an R demonstrator in. :no:

Agreed!
Will drive like a demon but those front seats and exhaust tailpipes aren't the best are they!

Just had a look at a Golf R demo @ Derby VW. Looks fantastic, dealer says it's brilliant on the road. Don't suppose we will see any Scirocco R's before mine arrives!!!
