Hey guys, I'm in a terrible dilemma  in deciding which car to get. Thus I kindly seek your opinions and suggestions. I've narrowed down to a few listed below.

1) 06 or 07 R32
2) MK 5
3) Evo 9
4) WRX or STI

Needless to say my heart's leaning towards the R32 more followed by the MK 5. If the MK6 was up I'll take it for sure in a heart beat!

Now, option 3 and 4 yield more BHP but nowhere near the luxuries. of option 1 and 2! My gut and heart tells me the R32 is better! I'm really lost and confused! help me pls! LOL

I'll take every comment, view and criticism with a pinch of salt and open mind  as we all feel and have different views on stuff.Thanx alot guys! appreciate it very much!

When I was about to buy my last car I also had a tough decision between the GTI and R32. I ended up with the R32 and never looked back. That was the car that I really wanted even though the GTI offered better fuel economy, almost as fast etc. If your heart says R32 I think you should buy it, after all, what would be the reason to buy e.g. the GTI?

Cars that appeal to yobs, boy racers, BarryBoys and alike. Whether or not you are a yob (and I'm sure you aren't :smiley:) is irrelevant: drive a WRX or an Evo and everyone will think you are :lipsrsealed:

The car for you is all down to what your prioritys are and what you value most?

In my teens and early twentys i would have gone for the WRX/STI more than likley as refinment, quiet ride were way down my list of what i wanted. Hell at that time of my life my family even ran subaru dealerships :evil: just the insurance went X when i asked. :grin: Its the reason that i went for the mk1 golf over the mk2, more fun to drive less refinment.

EVO even more hardcore than the scoobys but take alot of looking after great fun, lots of smiles, but no good on a long distance run.

Mk5 R32 i found too refined i was going far too fast at stupid speeds before any fun factor happened, its why i did not buy one of the last 30% off run out models.

Mk5 GTI i found more fun than the R32 it just seemed that little bit more horned.

As i said its all down to what you want in a car.
