2018 Volkswagen Golf R TSI DSG Hatchback Petrol

Description

So, I’ve got this 2018 Golf R TSI — it’s got that punchy 2.0L engine with 500bhp thanks to a stage 3 tune, and it’s been finished in Lapis Blue Metallic. The interior’s a mix of grey Alcantara and cloth, which feels nice without being too flashy. There’s a panoramic sunroof with sunblind, 18-inch alloys, and loads of driver aids — lane assist, dynamic light assist, road sign display, adaptive cruise, and voice control. The steering wheel has a sports design with paddle shift, and seats heat up automatically.

It’s got all the bells and whistles: rear-view camera, park distance controls, dual zone climate, auto-dimming mirrors, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto via mirror link. There’s also a centre armrest, privacy glass, and even isofix points.

I bought it second-hand, kept it well, and it’s been regularly maintained. The HPI check and 75-point inspection are both done — nothing’s been missed. I’ve also done a full drive test before listing it.

I’m based in Chelmsford, Essex, so if you’re local, I can arrange a view. I’m not selling it fast — I’ve actually been thinking about keeping it for a while, but I’ve decided to part with it after a few years of good use.

It’s a solid, high-performance hatchback with a lot of practicality, and it’s not just flashy — it’s actually usable on the road. I’ve been driving it a lot, and it handles well, even in the rain.

If you’re curious, I’ll be happy to talk through it — no pressure, just honest details. I don’t want it to sound like a brochure, so if anything feels off, I’m happy to clarify.

Price is £20,655 — I’ve put that in just to be transparent, but I’ll keep it simple and not over-explain.

If you’re in the area, drop me a message. I’m usually around during the day.
