The 4 motion in all the transverse mounted engine VW's is a trick 4wd anyway. Not a true 4wd.

Torque is only sent to the back wheels if the front loose grip. They don't have a torsen diff.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

I really hope the Mk5 R32 looks more aggressive than these pictures when its released, its looks like the sort of car your mother would buy.......................unlike the Mk4 which is way more brutal in its appearance.

 i have been out in one at the weekend!!! before someone says bull**** i have a mate who works for Audi press office so gets the pleasure of checking all new cars before they go to the magazines...

anyway got a question just ask...

i can honestly say i wouldn't trade my GTI for one and pay the extra.

Yes its nice to look at but understated,
the front grill looks plastic (chrome instead of black)
the inserts on the inside which on the GTI are brushed alloy ARE plastic !
the rest of th einside is really no different excet the needles are blue and not red.

On the outside the body kit , all coluor coded looks good although the rear defuser is not as good as expected.

Although it is as quick as the GTI it certainly didn't feel it although this had only 600 miles on the clock.
the power delivery is very smooth, but slower through the gears.

however the noise it makes is terrific!!, when yuo see the size of the 2 single exhuasts comming out of the back you will look twice and understand why, they must be the biggest factory fit items ever, i cannot labour enough on how big they are.

on the down side though the best we could manage was 24 mpg the worst 14mpg pushing my GTI i can get at least 25mpg and at best 35mpg.
