This Stage 2+ 367hp MK6 Golf R is SAVAGE!

[@hampshirephoto]

This car is for sale! For more details, message the owner @j6ry_r on Instagram 🏎💥

[@MarkEnriquez1971]

The MK6 2 door is unique simply because the rear side window has its own shape. The curve at the bottom combined with the C pillar gives it that unique look. The MK6 2 door is the best look of all GTI’s even over the new 2022 R. And I have a 2012 2 door MK6 GTI black. The shit.

[@TheZigzagSmoke]

Still for sale

[@ScottOrd]

It's such a special car, cheers to the current and the new owner!

[@s123-n8h]

What a clean mk6 R

[@JordieMotive97]

Seeing a tastefully modified MK6 is honestly a breath of fresh air from all the MK7's lurking around the UK streets haha - Very nice example

[@PieMK6R]

Yup, I'm glad I purchased my mk6. They have become more rare. I couldn't find any KZbin videos of it in 2015 when I first purchased it. Surprisingly owners are making videos of it starting 2020 Manual handbrake goes a long ways for me lol.

[@jamie7tcr777]

Styling of the mk6 R is above and beyond the rest of it's generations range, really tastefully done in every aspect kudos to the owner.

[@modo203]

Well, that's just your opinion. IMO it's the ugliest of all the GOLF series. The MK4 was the last of the mohicans. After that, it's a pussified design meant to appease other genders.

[@sxnfvr]

agreed

[@scottcampbell10]

What a beast... blue paint, silver wheels and yellow callipers is a WIN

[@Greenmould]

Mk6’s almost seem rare compared to all the millions of leased out mk7s driving around

[@Murphy252000]

So many, unreal how many are out there

[@kthomas120109]

Beast Mk6 and that color is beautiful. I Just bought a Mk6 R 4-door and I lovee it! Still stock but definitely can't wait to get her up over 300 horses

[@patpong5873]

Robert Nice MK6 R Golf but friendly advice if you want change the Dp to 3.5 inch decat BCS or Trackslag and then also upgrade mk6 plastic ends intercooler to Airtec 2 Revo cam coat intake might help Job down more Bhp & Torque and No Heat soak

[@CarsWithSmithy]

These things are so underrated! They look the dogs and perform so well 🧨 Owner seems like a top genuine guy too 👍🏻

[@robertjary798]

Cheers

[@TechX1320]

I have a 2012 R Stage 2+ as well... gotta wonder why I consider my Fiat 500 Abarth more fun to drive at stage 1 Some info about the exhaust... The exhaust was actually a rebadge by APR. APR teamed up with Corsa Exhaust in Berea, Ohio USA to the APR RSC exhaust and downpipe. If you call Corsa, you can still buy this exhaust brand new today. My R was used to test fit the exhaust back in August 2012.

[@luukdejonge8600]

Thats wicked mate

[@HandsomeTroll]

I am thinking of getting rid my Abarth 180HP comp and get a golf mk6R. Would I enjoy 6R as much?

[@TechX1320]

@@HandsomeTroll I prefer the abarth personally. The R is a nice upgrade with all the creature comforts and has far more support as far as hp gains. To me, the R was just boring because it was floor it and that's it. it went straight, didn't throw me back in the seat. My 500 at least, the pull is way harder. Could far more easily upgrade the turbo on the abarth to a TD04 or larger garret turbo (especially if you're T-Jet and not the US MultiAir) and get a better power to weight ratio than the R has with stock turbo

[@HandsomeTroll]

@@TechX1320 I miss all the comforts and I want somthing for daily but being equally fast. Does 6R eats oil as some videos say?

[@TechX1320]

@@HandsomeTroll mine ate camshaft position sensors. My oil consumption was pretty nutty though now that I think about it

[@jameslynn2357]

I'll say this one time. I've had all kinds VAG. I got one of these MK6 r. I'll buy everyone I can afford and get my hands on. Way underated .

[@JustinStrife]

Don't buy them all! I'm hoping to add a 6R to my mk6 GTI someday.

[@dvplays3388]

love the look of the mk6 r way better then the mk7

[@JustinStrife]

You and me both. It's why I bought an Autobahn Edition Mk6 GTI(I couldn't quite swing the R at the time). A year later, I added a K04 turbo, FMIC and coilovers for what the difference between the GTI and R were at the time I bought it. lol Oh well.

[@williammorgan464]

Iv got an ed35 and absolutely love it Same engine as this but just front wheel drive very much just a tire burner 👌

[@MegaKevinferreira]

Also have one thinking of doing the hpfp but don’t know if it worth it stage 2 strong already

[@ms.r9000]

Beautiful! I'm original owner of a 2012 Mk6 R with 25k miles on it, blue, super rare loaded 2-door (few in the USA), APR stage 2 and have to agree they are the most beautiful of the Rs, especially in Rising Blue, just a lovely color!

[@JustinStrife]

The only thing I don't like about the 6R in the U.S., is no DSG option. :(

[@ms.r9000]

@@JustinStrife That's one of the things I LOVE about my R!!! I detest 4-doors or 2 pedals unless it's a big a$$ truck towing my race car, enclosed trailer or ginormous 5th wheel RV. I would consider a Mk2 Audi TT-RS with the dual clutch only because it's a genuinely amazing car with brutal acceleration; I'm sure it would be a total beast on the track! My R is good on the track but it's a brick, albeit a quick brick. It's quite a challenge, too. I'd love a Mk8 R but only IF it was a 2-door. I'm looking at adding a Porsche GT4 or Cayman GTS 4.0 later this year but may get the TT-RS instead. Right now we travel full-time in our 5th wheel RV (sold our house last year) and the two pretty German girls are tucked away in a non-descript, climate controlled storage warehouse until we buy/build a new house. Cheers!

[@JustinStrife]

@@ms.r9000 Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the third pedal. I've owned hot rods over the last 20 years with a manual transmission. Including 2 supercharged corvettes, twin turbo rx7, s2000, sr20 240sx, and a cammed 5.0 mustang. But with traffic here in California, it gets old. As a 2nd car it's still great though.

[@ms.r9000]

@@JustinStrife UGH, I can't imagine! We just bought a house on the top of a mountain and the closest town in 15 miles away. We had to drive into a major city to visit a Dr and it was total brain damage, especially driving a Ford F350 Diesel dually. I think I'm now big city traffic feral. Unfortunately the 1.3 mile gavel road and our 1/5 mile steep gravel driveway are too rough for my R so it's still in storage 1700 miles away. I have get something that has clearance and is AWD so I'm looking at an SUV. I hate 4-doors and 2-pedals but I love our new home. Still keeping the R and we'll have our driveway regraded and regraveled and get after the county to do the same on their section of road. BTW, great list of cars! The S2000 and RX7 are both great cars! I've seen some S2000 at AXs and they're absolutely planted and quick!

[@InfusedMaltesers]

I sold my mk6 and wish I never did. Lovely mint car, only issue I had was the haldex but great fun to drive

[@1970borntorun]

Best Golf / GTI generation by FAR !! Not to mention the killer Dynaudio Audio pkg option which sounds awesome!

[@jondonnelly3]

[@victorfu5979]

[@robertjary798]

Thanks Luke The video has turned out very good much appreciated, after watching the video a couple of times I don't think I can sell it just yet , I've actually ordered a couple of bits since shooting with you.

[@ansab1]

Do not sell it buddy! I used to own a candy white one and miss it alot even though i now own a M140!

[@boomstix130]

I got a manual like yours with the wingback seats, don't sell the car, I certainly want to hold on to mine as long as possible. P.S go big turbo with a few extra bits and some internal upgrades, more fuel you can easily break the 450 bhp mark. Here in SA there's a daily driven mk6 pushing 600 Kilowatts.
