The best color is the one you get an allocation for

It’s just more electronic junk to go wrong. My MK8 Golf R had them and they honestly had errors 50% of the time.

Whoever has a Boost Blue in Atlanta, I saw you blasting down 285 a few days ago when I was on my way back from Daytona. Looked sick! (I couldn’t do a bro honk since I was trailering motorcycles in a truck.)

Does anyone else think the alcantara is of higher quality in the FL5 than in the FK8? It seems to be much softer and premium feeling to me. Am I just imagining this?

Holy crap you have a sick garage! Congrats!

You can definitely tell that the Golf R is going to be quicker off the line (6 speed. DSG is even quicker). The Golf has a more linear power delivery compared to the Type R. I haven’t really punched it too much on the FL5, but I have owned two FK8s in the past so I’m familiar with the engine...

The shifter in this car is on another level. Brings me back to my S2000 days! I was honestly quite shocked in the step-up in overall feel and interior quality when compared to the FK8. Makes sense why the MSRP increased quite a bit.

Does anyone know how easy this shipping wax crap comes off? Also, the best method to do it? (Told them not to wash or remove anything)

Thank you!

Thank you very much! Heck yea! Build number is 03520

Picked it up a few hours ago! Long wait, but so worth it. 48600 OTD. I’m very thankful. Special thanks to Aspec, tuhroo, and Tickle for all the updates and information! Love this forum!

Thanks man! The long wait is going to be so worth it. Going to be so awesome being back in a Type R.

Haha not yet. I’m waiting for a call this morning. Alabama got 7 cars in the second allocation. The first one was delivered yesterday. I’m assuming the others will start following suit today!

Looks like some Southeast cars are now showing at dealer as of now. Of course mine is not. 😂

Congratulations! That’s awesome. Hopefully that means I will get mine tomorrow. (I’m in Alabama with an ETA of the 10th)

Aspec said a lot of the Southeast cars are already in Alabama. Some could take delivery this week.

So I’m guessing they will be loaded on trucks over the weekend? Thank you so much for the update! I’m so pumped.

Has your dealer given you any updates today?

All of the second batch are in transit within the USA? Or some are still in the middle of the ocean?

Awesome, thanks for the information! Yea I’m expecting mine will arrive in February at some point. We are getting close! Championship White here as well. 👍
