Vehicle Description
One Owner. All-Wheel Drive. 6-Speed. Hatchback. APR Tuned.
Garage-Kept. Check, check, check, etc. This 2016 Volkswagen Golf R
checks all the boxes for the performance purist. Our client ordered
this vehicle for his wife, brand new from Betten Imports of Grand
Rapids, Michigan, where all the service has been done. But being a
creature of tasteful customization, he took the car with the Audi
S3 sourced 2.0L Turbo motor to Community Automotive, a local APR
licensed shop. About $5k later, he had turned the stock 292hp into
388hp with an APR software upgrade and APR down pipe. He also added
an HD clutch kit, short-shift relay bracket, and Pirelli P-Zero
high performance tires. All new to the car in May of 2017, and all
upgrades we would have done ourselves if we owned it. The car was
never tracked, never beat on, and was mainly driven by the wife.
The only reason its up for sale is because she just purchased the
new Volvo SUV.
This mighty 4-Door Hatchback is finished in Oryx White Pearl
Exterior over a Titan Black Leather interior, finished with
Audi-like amenities. Noteworthy features include Dynamic Chassis
Control (DCC) Adaptive Suspension, 4Motion AWD, Driving Mode
Selection, Vented Disc Brakes, Intelligent Crash Response System,
19-Inch Alloy Wheels, Rear Spoiler, Chrome-Tipped Quad Sport
Exhaust, Rain Sensing Wipers w/ Heated Washer Nozzles, Climatronic
Dual-Zone Climate Control, Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel and Shift
Knob, Heated Front Seats, Rearview Camera, 6.5-Inch Touchscreen
Navigation w/ HD Radio, CD Player, USB and Aux Input, Fender
Premium Audio System, Bluetooth, and Keyless Access w/ Push-Button
Start. It also has VW Car-Net with Smartphone Integration,
Infotainment, Navigation, Security and Service. The new Golf R is
Volkswagen's response to Subaru's STI Wagon, and with the DCC
System, S3 Turbo with APR upgrades, and a much more refined
interior, we think its the better option. Plus, it is a BLAST to
drive - like driving on rails, German-engineered rails that is.
It's quick and corners like a boss. The new technology packed in
this small yet spacious Golf is the future of Das Auto. You will
not be disappointed.
"The R is a hoot to drive, no question. The MQB chassis is rock
solid, grip is outta sight, and the ride is a near perfect balance
of comfort and firmness, no matter the mode. The steering is light
at lower speeds and weights up nicely as speeds increase. I don't
recall, really, a car that feels this planted both blasting down
the expressway and whipping through corners. It's a rare car: The
harder you push, the better it feels. It's agile and confidence
building. Maybe too confidence building; I'm not sure how long I'd
have my license if I owned one of these." - Wes Raynal,
AutoWeek
Our client takes pride in his toys, and being his wife's car, this
R received the red-carpet treatment. It comes with all service
records from Betten, tuning records from Community Auto, books,
manuals, two sets of keys, floor mats, luggage net, and copy of
original window sticker. There is clearly more invested in this car
than what we are asking. A truly awesome VW at a reasonable price
point. Call or e-mail if interested. Thank you for looking.
