The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

I am really looking forward to seeing a Golf R ring time. The Golf R32 can lap the Nurburgring in around 8 minutes 49 seconds; the Audi RS4 does it in 8 minutes 9 seconds; and the Ford Focus RS does it in 8 minutes 26 seconds.

If the Golf R can do it in under 8 minutes 22 seconds, then I'll be well impressed. That's would be faster than the old BMW E46 and thus justify its price tag.

I'll go with you to the 'ring in Spring to get a time. You bring your R. I'll bring the stopwatch. :laugh:

He he. Us Golf R boys are a bit more refined.

I guess you could call the GTI a "boy racer's" car. The R is more a "gentleman's racer".

Just worked out why the one in the video looks so good. It's got 19" alloys (darkened headlights). Reg plate is OY59 HNR.

Whereas, one on article page has got 18" alloys (chromed headlights). Reg plate is OY59 HNT.

thats the only type of surface that the golf will be faster on i'm afraid.

Eh? I kinda agree on your other points but that one is bogus. The R is quicker to 62. Focus RS tops out at about 160 but the Golf is limited to 155. Certainly round a circuit it'll wipe the floor with the RS due to the AWD, especially it it's a bit damp. Will be intereting to see one of the mags get some ring times in with one.

Have to agree with Nick on this one. The R may well be at a considerable premium against the RS but it will beat it hands down in both 0-60 and around a track. The only way to compete with AWD is to shed weight (R.26R?? :wink:) and that is something the RS does not do.
