Deano94 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Mileage shouldn't be an issue aslong as the car has been well looked after and has plenty of service history. If that's the case, I would modify mine in that situation. Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano94 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The HR was only introduced in 2007, right? So those that have a 2006 DE got the raw end of the deal with the higher tax bracket but a few less horses.

Roscoe Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 My mate have the golf R and I still love my 350 over it. The sound the looks and the drive I like shifting gears old skool style lol yeah his cars quick of the line it's gone (launch control) I think that's cheating ������������ but it looks like any normal golf to me anyway I have always loved the Z I always wanted to own one and now I do so you can keep the golf audi etc I love my car even if it's a DE ������������������������ Curious, how many car lengths (or not) does the R beat the 350HR in a drag race? As I recall, not much if anything could beat my un-modded 350HR under £50k (unless it was modified :/) Totally agreed on looks. The Z looks like a sports car, feels like one and sounds like one. The Golf R.. looks just like another golf really. That is all well and good if you don't want to look like you have a sports car, but is that logic not so dissimilar to those old folk that buy a 4ltr only to do 30 mph everywhere. If it is fast, it should look fast - and sexy - and masculine! You don't see many girls in 350z's (no offence), but I see plenty of sales reps and estate agents in Golfs. I'd say, if you have dogs and kids, such restrictions merit consideration of a golf R, it has boot space and rear seats. Its not all about speed, you can obliterate a golf R by spending a little more money on the 350HR engine, but certainly, no where near what a new R costs. The golf r is much quicker off the line than the HR. With a roll on from 30mph the HR level pegged the R then started to pass it around 120! All on track!

Bems Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Golf gti or if it were my money an Octavia VRS petrol both would need slight fettling to achieve your bhp figures but wouldn't take much. Lots of bang for your bucks with a mahoosive boot & plenty room in the back.

Ekona Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Sorry my last post doesn't read correctly. The HR was able to pass the golf r after 120mph. Erm, how? The Golf R has 9bhp less but 12ft/lb more torque than the 350, weighs at least 100kg less, has 4WD and a DSG 'box. It's limited to 155mph so I've no doubt will do that in stock form, so on no planet with even a vaguely competent driver should the 350 see which way the Golf R went in a straight line. Hell, I'd thoroughly expect the Golf to p*ss all over the 350 round the corners too. I'd still rather own the 350 as I'd find it more fun, but I really struggle to believe that the 350 was quicker than the R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargara Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Slightly off topic but as a DE owner for me the power difference isn't an issue, the issue is not having the facelift lights (front and rear) and bonnet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on how the car delivers that power, mine has only had an uprev other than that it is standard engine wise. The HR with an uprev does pull really well all the way into the red. This could just be to do with the difference in gear ratios at that particular speed but my HR definitely started to edge a standard R at them speeds. As you mentioned though the golf is ridiculously quick out of the lower speed corners which the zed couldn't match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeezeebaba Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I'm happy with my DE, why would I get the HR. Well checking the oil is easier and the revised engine is a peach. Interior is better too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdunbar Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I prefer the exterior styling (lights and bonnet) on the DE but the HR has a better interior. Performance wise, not a great deal in it. A £300 remap on the DE and there is nothing in it. The HR will always rev higher, without big mods, but the DE has more torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct the DE does have more torque but only in a very small area of the Rev range, the HR has more torque throughout the whole range!

docwra Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Audi S3! Flame suit on! Wash your mouth out. Buy a 1 series BMW instead, job done. And having done 3K km across Europe in a Mk7 Golf GTi I can confirm it feels quicker than a 350Z, definitely gets to 155mph quicker and is a cracking car, Id be VERY surprised if a Zed could live with a Golf R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
