.:R32 4lyf yo'.

But yeah seriously. R32 gets my vote, love them cubic centimetres. But then again you might want that zuuuuuutututu.

Sadly I upgraded to a new phone so no good pics but here's a couple to get the heart throbbing.

Ooh calm down girls.

I'll have to get some more off the old phone. I've got photos of it when I matte metallic wrapped it but not on me.

I can surely do that. Most my attention is on the mk1 these days though. Sadly enough. :/ but defiantly can add you!

If you end up swapping the oem diffuser for a carbon one, let me know.

Drive both. I think you will find they're worlds apart on the road. The R32 has a more premium feel, is heaps better in the wet and is less common. But it wasn't for me after about 3 test drives. I found it wasn't as nimble or chuckable as a GTI, it is missing that low end torque that I crave. I am also going to get grilled for this, but I found the R32 was too loud for me. One of my favorite things about the GTI is that I can nail it without drawing too much attention to myself.

Another thing to factor in is servicing costs, the R32 has a big engine squeezed into a small engine bay. Which is harder to work on, and then you've got the haldex servicing as well. The brakes are also more expensive, and you're more likely to wear out suspension components and tyres due to the additional weight.

I'd dig a Pirelli GTI if there is any that fits your liking and budget.

If the R32 drives like a R36 which I'd imagine so with a V6 in front, it's quite nose heavy. I find my GTI much more suitable and fun as a daily drive. Mine is a APR Stage 1.
