I have 4wd but its still based on a car designed to ferry the family round and pick up the shopping!

An RS4 isnt a tweeked shopping cart, more a tweeked rep mobile.

Something like a porsche or a ferrari is what you could not say 'just a ferrari', but a golf, no matter how fast or with what engine is a golf!

You completely ignored what I said and went straight back to the speed debate. Name me a standard golf with 4wd, the plush interior and the looks of a gti. You should be able to as they are just golfs.

Its just a golf with 4wd, regardless of what it has (fwd, rwd or 4wd, 3.2 V6 or 1.2 diesel) its just a golf, albeit with something different.
My R32 is just a golf, a special one, but just a golf!

Your getting there, now its a golf with 4wd lol if you read my other stuff you'll add lots more on too and pretty soon it wont be a golf at all.  :grin: Seriously though, when most people say 'its just a golf' its very easy to pick it up as your buying a run of the mill car, which is what the golf is excluding the top range models. I would never say buying a car specc'd up to £30k or there abouts for a GTI or more for the R is something 'normal' but maybe I'm picking it up wrong. If it were me, I'd say its a Golf. I would never say 'It's just a Golf. I just couldnt discredit the car that way, but as I say maybe I'm reading it all wrong.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

A golf R32, most people dont know what an R32 is though so you have to explain (which puts it well up there in uncool on the cool wall)

Its great seeing peoples reaction when you tell them its 3.2 V6 hatchback with 4wd. Took my mate in it the other week for the first time (not into cars) and he could not believe it, was raining and he couldnt work out why we were going so quickly  :laugh:

If you have more than £30k to buy a car i expect you will have enough to run the aforementioned. I could run an RS4 (if i wasnt buying a bloody house lol)

I'm not sure it's that straight forward...
I know a few people who have bought £50-80k cars, used, and almost bankrupted themselves keeping them on the road, because they just didn't appreciate how expensive parts can be without a water-tight (read: very expensive) warranty.
M3 lower arms @ £850 each.
996 gearbox @ £10,000
996 short engine @ £16,000

Taking the hit is fine...but if you have other commitments too (house, kids etc) and need the car to get to work in order to make money...it can get a bit fraught when it breaks.

Sadly, all sense and reason goes out of the window when people buy an expensive car, cheap.

We went through this with the whole 'GTI isn't a shpooing car...oh yes it is' thread...at the end of the day, it's a golf.
Regardless of the engine size, spec or cost, it's the same basic car as a 1.6.
Tart it up however you like...but it is.

Personally, I have no issue with that, because being only a 'Golf' brings with it low insurance, build quality, reliability, practicality and relative anonymity etc...
