I agree an evo modified or not would be quicker than the R
BUT at least you won't have to hide your face in shame driving the R

I dont think you have anything to be ashamed of in the X nowadays. You could easily miss one driving around. Blenders imo

for me its simply down to fun factor... 4wd drift or 2wd understeer.


4wd for me everytime... the added benifit of being able to pull out into spaces smaller than the car itself also has mucho benifito :laugh:

Golf R is a replacement for the R32.  a model that has been around since MkIV days and a very popular model amongst enthusiasts.  ETTO and all that, why deny them the Golf R?

I am not saying we should deny enthusiasts the R. What I am trying to say is that the R is ridiculously priced. And when you compare it to the R32s in those days, it was not as pricey as it is today. And should it not be released with the new EA888 engines instead of the older one? Why did VW need to rush it? The GTI is still new...

Am raising this for argument's sake and see what our resident experts have to say... ;)
