Hello guys,
Well Cathy and I decided to trade in her 2014 MCS (mini Cooper Sport) yesterday.
She wanted to get a much more useful car than the 2-door MCS.
So I have been checking all different cars out and finally decided on the VW 2017 Golf R Model with the 6-Speed
DSG transmission W/Paddle-Shifters.
It's a Oryx White Pearl exterior with a Black interior W/white stitching.
Also this time around this one has 4-doors that actually adults can sit in the rear seats even if they are 6-foot tall with head clearance.
It's a hatchback so easy loading and unloading with 60/40 individual Fold-Down rear-seats.
Tons of storage space with rear seats up and with them down a full size bike will fit in the area.
One of the main considerations for both of us this time around was getting the VW 4MOTION all-wheel drive.
So we went yesterday afternoon and signed the paperwork and then Arnaldo showed us the complete car covering 99% of all functions.
It's a good thing we had him as the car is very complex and jam-packed with electronic functions.
Honestly I really doubt there is anyway Cathy or I would ever use all the functions the Golf R has available.
It reminds me a lot of my Galaxy Samsung 7 Smart-Phone in it's complexity.
One would have to spend a lot of time in it and constantly use the functions to be able to remember many of them.
Last thing I think some of you might be wondering ???????????
How does it Perform ............
It will accelerate 0-60 MPH in less than 5-seconds.
Below are the pictures I took for those of you that have and like other vehicles than our Bullitt Mustangs.
This me when I went over the 1st time to see if I wanted to actually pursue purchasing it last Saturday.
Now Cathy and I are at Hallmark VW in Cool Springs, TN actually taking delivery.
(Notice through the showroom window you can see our traded in Red 2014 MCS)
It has 19" Pretoria wheels with Pirelli Run-Flat-Tires.
(Very Large Brakes, it Stops guys)
Here is the interior and it has totally awesome Fit & Finish.
(The interior is Black I used Flash to show the interior)
You might wonder why I took a picture of the Glove-Box open ???
My buddy Tom Cochran in San Antonio, TX bought the same exact Golf R with the exception his had the, Rear-Cargo-Net option.
So I took all these pictures to show him as close as I could what the Golf R looked like as he had not yet gone to his local VW dealer.
Oh, Tom actually got his Golf R 1-Day before Cathy & I took delivery I think Tom Smiled a little guys.
The Center-Armrest is adjustable.
Below in the driver's seat is our guy, Arnaldo and he is one Super-Sharp-Fellow on the Golf R.
He spent hours with us going over every function on the car and also took us for a quick test drive to Demonstrate several of it's, (Safety Functions).
Below is Cathy and Terry right before we went into the F&I Business Office and met a heck of a Super-Nice-Guy Antonio.
(Talk about a salesman he was that but more importantly he was a Down-to-Earth fellow to deal with)

Last picture at the Hallmark VW Dealership in Cool Springs, TN. with the whole crew.
Guys this was an awesome experience dealing with all the Hallmark Crew including getting to meet in person the G/M Aaron.
Not many G/Ms take the time to come out and say hello much less take pictures with the customers.
So all I can say is anyone looking for a VW give Arnaldo a call and he might very well be able to put a Favorable-Deal
together for you to Drive or Fly in to Nashville and pick-up your New ride.
