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.

Ha ... spot on Ess_Three! I think we're both a bit older (wiser?) than some of the young scamps on here.

Probably so.
I have huge periods of my life missing - usually round about the time I've either bought a very silly car, or sold on at a stomach churning loss - both things I then blank out and forget.

One thing that springs to mind is that the grass is always greener...there is no such thing as the perfect car.

You pays your money...and makes your choice.
If it's a wrong choice, live with it and move on.
Life is too short...

I doubt anyone who buys an R will be upset...but there again, if you bought an M5, RS4 or 996 instead...I doubt you'd be too upset about that either.

Yeah, that's due to the shortage of used cars at the moment, according to CAP. The R wouldn't start affecting residual values until it's been on the forecourt a few months atleast.

It will eventually - though not until Mk6 Rs start appearing on the used market. And probably not too much due to the lack of V6.

I think I like the split exhausts like the GTI more than the dual centered ones of the R20... What do you think, folks?

Like the R20 but prefer the GTI, at least they are different so we can tell the difference from a distance.
