As someone who has owned an 08 DSG R32 for a whole week, they are just awesome! Love it totally. But the reason I brought one, is cos one day I got to drive a GTI and suddenly lose interest in my WRX. As has already been said in this thread, drive them both and choose the one that fits YOU.

1. Never, even with the flapper mod I never get tired of it. This exhaust wasn't tuned by fred at discount exhausts, its a work of art. At 120km/h in 6th the note is subtle. But thats the problem. You find yourself always wanting to kick it down a couple of cogs to hear that crescendo and then all of a sudden your doing 180! Whoops!
2. I have had this thing up to 220km/h on a smooth road, it felt like about 140km/h, very misleading.Volvo S60 RD T6

I have a problem with mine at speeds over 100kph however. I thought it was a wind buffeting noise but it's more like a plastic on plastic banging. It's not very loud but definitely noticeable. Sometimes it doesn't occur until after 130kph but other times it occurs at 110kph depending on wind.

I'm in a similar boat.
Don't know whether to look at a GTI or a R32.
A few MkVI GTI's for under 40k now, decent R32's for 28 for a MkIV to 40 for a MkV.
Decisions decisions.Audi S3. Sold
Golf R. Sold
Citroen DS3 Dsport. Sold
2016 Skoda Octavia RS Wagon.

If you're due for a new car it would be a good choice.

R32's are good cars though so go for it.Last edited by G-rig; 01-12-2010, 10:17 AM.
