Theres too much money on that drive!!!

Nice selection there - that BMW looks cool, although Im not yet missing mine!

Nice R32 - I looked at them before buying my GTi, but my driving is low mileage back country lane blasts, so the GTi was tailor made for me :laugh:

Hows it doing on fuel by the way? Having had my GTi for a month, Im averaging an excellent 32mpg!

Its actually very good on fuel, not much different to my old type r. I used half a tank driving from london to the isle of wight, and also doing a few fast short journeys showing the family. Then used about a 1/4 driving back to london with a few hard accelerations! I got as low as 9mpg which made me giggle  :laugh:

My mum drove my R and said it was very nice, felt like driving hers but abit more solid with a nicer noise. She compared it to the BMW for the feel (i imagine with it being heavy and putting power to the rear)

I love it though, couldnt be more happy with it  :evil:

Nice one mate!

I have to say, the only thing I dont like about the R32 is this..........

Dont take it the wrong way..........

But when one is coming towards you on the road.........its kinda hard to tell if its an R32 or a Jetta!!!

I was exactly the same until i owned one, i can see the minor differences such as the badge from a way off now! I do prefer the GTI front, it grows on you though  :grin:
