After selling the XT I was set on getting a manual performance hatchback, some of you may know that I was trying to get a Ford RS, but with production cuts I was not able to get one this year. I got my deposit back from the dealership and headed to a Volkswagen dealership to check out the R. I was glad they had one in the showroom for me to look at! After sitting in the vehicle and comparing it to the RS (I sat in a ST and the interior will be the exact same as the RS) I immediately felt the difference in build quality and I knew that this was the one, especially with the slim pickings its pretty much the only other choice.
The only thing I didn't like about the VW was the Cadiz wheels that it came with. I was told on forums that any of the Rs ordered now would now be able to get the Pretoria wheels (available in Europe) I was sold.
