The new engine is clearly better - in terms of fuel efficiency, emissions, power output, torque spread and refinement.

No the golf R is using the TFSI because it comes straight out of a box and straight into the golf and development cost = £0

Yep. Shame really because I'm always disappointed whe I hear a Mk5 start up - they sound more than a bit harsh and clattery.

Yes im not talking Track times, and nor to Vw quote there standin start runs either in track times.

No disbuting the wheel wheel drive round a track benefit, but if i was following from 40mph and nailed the throttle, it would be see you later R32 

So this is the only thing you can come up with that a standard ed30 would beat a R32? Well ive had both and from 40mph i reckon it would be close.
But what about other challanges
                                                0-60 r32 wins
                                                exiting corners r32 wins

Yet to see an R32 beat an Edition30. Wasnt there a video of a standard GTi beating an R32
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxe3snKiJ6w
or this one where the R finally passes this standard GTi doing way over 120mph

Edition 30's K04 has much more punch at top revs, so doesnt loose speed like the K03 Gti does.

i think you may have gti 1/4 mile time mixed up against R32s 0-100mph time cause their is no way a mk5 gti is as fast as a mk5 r32 0- 100mph in standard form. P.s i do love willy waving

lol carl, so do i!!, but look a the first video, dsg GTi V R32 dsg.

the 2nd video that Manual Gti is ahead again, and not untill they are doing over 120 does the 3.2 haul its ass past.

200 extra kilo's , haldex drive train losses, the more Powerful Ko4 Gti is quicker.

But no disputing the R32's capability around a track. Which in my book isnt everyday driving.

Why do you keep bringing up R32 times? Steve was asking for opinions on the mk6 GTI over his mk5 edition 30 GTI.  He already knows that it will be slightly slower than the mk5 but not by very much but realises that the ride quality and cabin layout etc is so much better.  So it has to be mk6 GTI all the way.

^^ indeed, after seeing what the mk6 GTi done on the dyno yesturday,(see surrey RR thread) it comes very close in performance to the  2.0 k04 TFSI in stock

Sorry to the OP going off track.

One thing i will say is, there is a huge performance benefit when selecting DSG.

On the road, it helps getting the power down smoothly, especially with alot of greasy roads about lately
