I paid 42K for my Golf R taxes in, 6MT w/ Nav.
If you option out a Golf R with DSG it's no longer comparably equipped for one, and it's still far less money.
According to the websites:
My Base 6MT Golf
39995 + 1605 Freight PDI + GST = $43,680
Loaded DSG w/ Tech Golf
43410 + 1605 freight PDI + GST = $47,265
Focus RS Base (No fancy blue paint)
46969 + 1700 "Fees" + GST = $48,754
Though the website actually quoted me @ $51,103 after taxes.
Base STI
37995 + 521.25 "fees" + 1650 freight PDI + GST = $42,174
Sport Tech STI (Has NAV, probably the better comparison)
45395 + 521.25 "fees" + 1650 freight PDI + GST = $47,566
Evo MR
51998 - 2500 Incentive + 129.55 "fees" + 1600 freight PDI + GST = $53,788 (No Nav lol, with Nav it's $57,883)
Evo GSR w/ Nav
45982 -2500 Incentive + 129.55 "fees" + 1600 freight PDI + GST = $47,472
So then comparably equipped (Minus the fact that you can't get a Golf R w/ Sunroof/moonroof)
Golf R - $43,680
EVO GSR w/ Nav - $47,472
STI Sport Tech - $47,566
Focus RS - $51,103
Maybe I'm retarded, but from what I can see, Golf R still the cheapest, Focus RS still the most expensive, and there exists a massive 7400$ delta between the Golf and the Focus.
Disclaimer - There are no "fees" listed on the VW website, looking at the bill of sale for my R, I paid a total of;
$6.25 AMVIC
$20 Tire Levy
$100 Air Tax
