VW Golf R 2012 MANUAL | Rare | New Clutch | CarPlay Android Auto

2012 Volkswagen Golf R (US Specs) with a 6-speed manual gearbox — a rare configuration in the UAE and widely considered the more reliable and engaging option compared to DSG.
223,000 km
Manual transmission
Owned since 2020
Full service history (previous owner + myself)
Full service will be completed before sale
Brand new clutch and flywheel done last year.
Continental Sport tyres (2023) with plenty of tread remaining.
Upgraded Sony head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Interior is in good condition for age with normal wear.
Mechanically strong and drives well. Exterior is clean for age with minor marks as expected.
This is a rare manual Golf R, enthusiast-owned and properly maintained. Ideal for someone looking for a solid, usable performance car without the common DSG concerns.
Reason for sale: I genuinely enjoy the car and would keep it as a second vehicle, but I’ve recently moved to something more comute friendly for daily use and it no longer makes sense to keep the Golf.
Serious buyers only. No lowball offers.
