Golf R or......

[R32UK]

Everyone wants a Golf R!

but with a price of just under £30k in std form. What else would you consider for less than £30k??

I came across this, faster than the R, better made, RWD, sounds goes like stink, and will hold its value better!!

What do you think is worth a look over the Golf R???

[p3eps]

I looked at one of these a few months ago.
It was just the standard M version - with no mods.  Cracking looking car - I never actually drove it, so I can't comment on performance.

Its just not big enough or practical enough for me though.  The boot isn't that big (especially on that one as it has a sub!) and with my Fiancee having a RWD BMW - we'd BOTH be stuck in the snow instead of getting to work on the hand full of days it snows a year!!

I'm a very keen snowboarder - so 4wd is a big advantage for me.  I know its nowhere near as good as a Land Rover or something, but it'll certainly help me get out of the car park, and up the hills etc!

Nice car.... but......only a 2 seater, can it really be compared to a Golf R, I am not so sure.

As much as i would like an R, it's too much for me!

I like the look of the Z4M, very nice car! Sadly the money i paid for my MKiV R32 from almost new doesn't get you much these days. I'm really not sure what to change to.

Last year (in the heavy snow down south) i got to work in the R, where most others gave up on their journey. Only to realise that one other person managed to make it in, because they lived around the corner. Went back to the R to go home and was stuck! 15 miles away from home!!!!! Had to be dug out in the end, but managed to crawl home  :embarassed:

And (like the Z4M) lacking something imporant when I need carry my wife and 2 kids around.

How about...... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1094632.htm

providing you could remove those awful rear lights, they do have quite a road presence and are no way near as common as golfs or earlier scoobies.

Maybe if I lost my sight I could just about stand walking up to this each morning to drive to work.

Seriously, the only other car I'd consider is a GTI.

Nah... don't like Audis. If I did, I'd get an S3. But it looks sh*te, especially in 5-door form.
