turbolite:

Golf R with Dsg does 4.7 to 100 and 18.0 to 200 according to autozeitung. Times in ams are slower as they tested a manual.

Bottom line is that both concur that the handling of this new R is excellent, much more lively and entertaining than anything ever built by VW. And in fact it also obliterates the S3 which has the identical base. Apparemtly they found a great setup. Cant wait for a test by Sport Auto..

Amazing.  The Golf R is a very reasonably priced car in the States.
