It's good that the GTI doesn't have purple

I wish the GTI came in purple

You're all WAY off the mark. I wish they'd shoehorn the Audi 3.0 TDI into the AWD R32, best of everything!

Why do a job half ars** and stop at 3 litres?

x2.

It's great you guys are voicing your opinions because everyone's entitled to them, but could we please add "IMO" to the phrase so you're not talking on behalf of the world.

Also, more and less within 24 hours or thread closes.

Haha! gota love a heated debate I knew the "my car is faster than yours" topic would arise.

Anyways guys, I'm off to enjoy driving my piece of German engineering which I worked hard for. There's always someone out there faster than you and lets all be honest, if speed was the only thing any of us were after, none of us would have bought a GTI or an R32 - we all had and still have our reasons for purchasing these machines. The hard facts of each one's performance are freely available, but so are opinions. Just buy it and enjoy it I say.

but could we please add "IMO" to the phrase so you're not talking on behalf of the world.

Second that.

Those don't look anything alike .

I don't see what the problem is, VW is fairly conservative with their styling. The R36 doesn't look much different to the normal Passat, but anyone in the know can tel em apart:

I think alot comes down to affordability - if u can get the r32 get it

[Dubdabest]

I thought the dash display was basically orange &purple dials?

IMO it's amber and blue not purple?

I'd let Preeny have his way with me for AWD.

I'm not a fan of FWD 'sports' cars so I guess one of the main reasons I bought an R32 instead of a Gti was the AWD. A modded Gti may be quicker than an R32, but there's not a hell of a lot you can do to it, to compete with it's handling and traction. And it does mystify me why people buy a gti then try and squeeze as many kw out of the engine as possible. It's FWD! Go and buy a WRX or leave your poor car alone!

The discussion was centered around would someone who was uninformed (ie most of the population who couldn't give a toss about cars) know the difference between a group of golfs.

Ahh ok.

Who cares about them in that case .

There are other fwd sports cars I'd buy like the Megane F1/R26R etc that would be better performance and sports cars but not as good overall for daily driving IMO.

It's called fun. Google it.

Not even if it was free.

Torque steer + understeer doesn't equal fun. But if that's what floats your boat..
