Used to have a WRX, I missed AWD I love how this thing drives. It’s a 2017 so it has the updated Haldex programming.

Your color has been approved.

Haldex works just fine overall IMO. Never had issue with it in my Golf R.

I’m interested to see how my Mk6 R does this year with snow tires, I really haven’t felt it kick-in before even when auto-crossing

I had a MK6 R. It was definitely noticeable in the snow to me. Honestly worked just as well as the car I had before it, a B6 Avant.

I think on the road it’s fairly seamless. If I kept the car I was going to go with HPA’s Haldex controller, which offers considerably more aggressive rear bias.

I jumped into oppo during the transition of the FoST to E9x with an E90M3. Riding that curve.

I hear people raving about the 2017 and later S3 and the TTS’s haldex programming which is the only reason I brought that up.

It drives amazing. IDK how the Golf R is but I did try to buy one however they are seemingly much harder to get around here than an S3.
