I came back to the gti after trying other brands....  :cool:

That doesn't surprise me.

Theres a fastidious 50 year old plus man, who lives in my village, who swears by his modded 300 bhp VXR. But truth is, its in a lower class altogether than the Gti and he knows it. The Gti is the most complete, fast hatchback for me. Only a heavily modded Type-R can be as rewarding to drive as far as I'm concerned.

I have to be honest... i prefer the r32 to the gti  :grin: :grin: :evil:

What are you agreeing with Steve?  :huh:

I know R32UK was saying he preferred the R32 to the Gti....rather unsurprisingly haha!

Do you think the same or are you saying the older R32 is better than the modern R?
