So then, what car are you buying next?

[KennyGTI]

The Scirocco R is definitely growing on me. Looks very sleek from the front and an eye catcher for sure. Downside is the back end is not up to much and it only has FWD. How much do you think you could get one of these for new?

If I didn't need the space and practicality of the Golf then the Scirocco R would be my choice it is definitely the more sporty to drive and being only FWD is not a problem as it is very planted. I prefer the FWD handling to the AWD on the Golf/Scirocco platform as it feels lighter and a little more raw. The AWD is very secure (I have had a number of Audi quattros) and am a fan of AWD but I just prefer the FWD set up. I remember having the same choices when deciding on R32 and ED30. The Scirocco R's are very rare I assume as I think I have only seen 5 to my knowledge since they have been on sale and one was the car I drove. Not sure on prices but a good choice IMO.

I have driven the Scirocco R and it is fantastic to drive handling is excellent sounds brilliant and is very quick. I have also driven the Golf R on extended test drives and would choose this over the Scirocco simply because it is more practical. However I have not gone for either as the best on the bunch (IMO) is the ED 35 which I have ordered (5dr DSG in Carbon Grey 19" Glendales plus more options) and it will be delivered in early March.

Not knocking the ED35 as it is indeed a nice car, but better that a Golf R or a Rocco R I don't think so. They both have more power, they both have better brakes etc, they look better and they both lap tracks faster than the ED35.

I suppose it depends on what your definition of better is, mine is speed, comfort and practicality, therefore the Golf R IMO is the better car.

I don't disagree I just prefer the FWD set up and I need the practicality of the Golf so has to be the ED35 for me.

I like the Scirocco R but the problem is for me is that the standard gt model with the 19" wheels is just as good looking if not better.
I didn't like the back at first but it's grown on me a little.

I'm hoping the MK7 Golf isn't the step forward its being made out to be in the motoring press so I won't want to sell our MK6 R. I'm more attached to this car than any of the previous ones we've had. Might feel tempted by the new A3 if Audi can develop a car without concrete suspension for us older owners.

Had a look a boxster spyder yesterday. That's my next car if my luck is in this year.

Shush! 

Although I have to agree with you re. the attachment.

Missing my GTD! The new Mark 7 GTI is too far off.
Have you seen the pics of new Cayman?
My order may well be with the Stuttgart crew!!! when the new cayman is released
later this year.

[I.D.C.]

If I can’t order a mark 7 GTI come December then I will order a Scirocco R in white – 19’s alloys, leather and panoramic sunroof.
The mark 7 GTI is what I would really like but wont wait after December to order.
