Very nice car, congratulations! I have been looking at these cars and if I could find one around Orlando in your color I would buy it, but just keep seeing black, too hot, red, not me. I want your color or white. I am 6'5 250 pounds and you are right plenty of room. Enjoy it!!!

Maybe it was an R32? Or perhaps it was in another country... when the MkV R32 came out I poo-pooed the DSG as the only option and didn't even test drive one because of it when I was in the market for another car. Then I drove one when I wasn't in a position to buy it, and I was completely sold! 
Now the R20 is old school only for those in NA. Sucks kinda, I really like the DSG now. I know people ***** no matter what you give them as an option. I would never own a car with parasitic torque converter, but an automated, dual clutch will be my next car.

Umm actually they really are pretty similar, r has more power but added weight of the 4wd, gti with dsg, its a pretty close drag race. The cross dif in the gti works very well also. R will exit corners much faster as you can pick up the throttle really quick, and under steer is pretty much a non issue.
Both great cars tho !! btw simple chip in the gti adds 50 hp.

For a FWD car however, the GTI is amazing to drive. I actually prefer it to the Golf R, stock for stock.

You will love it. Just popped 20K miles on mine, stock other than a flash. Software really wakes it up!!

Congrats!! Golf R's would be awesome for Montana... where do you live out there? I lived in Kalispell/whitefish area for 2 years! I LOVEE it out there. I will always consider it a place to call home and could see buying a house out there one of these days!
Enjoy! I love my MKV, and thought about the golf R, but I couldn't justify spending that kind of cash on a car that would depreciate off the lot (just a college kids two cents).
