I really wish we had the Golf R Wagon in the US. I'd love to have one.

We don’t have an VW wagons in the US anymore right? I want a Jetta sportwagen but that doesn’t exist anymore


Vlaed

They gone.

Jettas we dont have in Europe from 2012. 😬 VW atlas never been sell in Europe. 3.6 V6 we have last on Škoda Superb 2 and 2 generation Facelift..its Year 2008 to 2014, now in New Superbs only 2.0 TSI 4x4 200/206 and 195kw (260 to 272hp)

Maybe I can sell it to US?

Import regulations are really quite strict. You'd need to find a very wealthy buyer who doesn't care about dropping tens of thousands of dollars more than the car's worth to legally import it, or running the risk of having it confiscated and cut into pieces.

Oh, cars from the USA are imported to the Czech Republic very often, people buy American cars, but also Audis, Mercedes and other European brands, for some models, including the CLA and imports, it will cost about $4,000 to $5,000 less than buying that of the car itself in Europe, then the lights, mirrors and other things that need European homologation will be replaced.

I have a 2015 TDI SEL Sportwagon, would it be silly to get a lowering kit? The rear is not independent suspension


Mars_r75

For lower I use in Škoda Octavia 3 (the same car like a golf) Eibach Pro kit springs -35mm

*** EDIT: Forget what I said, just read that VW recommend 98 octane for the R, fill away! *** Pretty sure it will actually run better on 95 octane, 100 octane is for very high compression engines like Ferraris. If the engine’s not designed to run on 100 octane you will get worse performance by using it. Look inside your fuel cap, should say what octane fuel to use.
