My gtd is now sold

I find it no different to my R32 in terms of ride. If i wanted a soft ride though i wouldnt by a hothatch and get myself a comfy diesel.

Everyone is different though

Save yourself the money and get an S3 mate. Thats what i did. Left an R owner wishing he did the same a few weeks ago 

If it was my own money to spend I might consider and s3 but as its a car I use as a company car as I work at a VW dealership it would have to be a golf r.

He must of been an awful driver if you wipped his ass that much.

Nice car the s3 drove a 3 door manual back in 2008 lot of respect for them.

The R32 probably does feel similar - both suffer with a lack of feedback, and both understeer - in my view/driving style.

I don't want a soft ride...but I do want something that's not totally numb. I'd like to have some idea what the front end is doing, and how much grip i've got.
I felt the S3 was poor in that respect. The last one was the same...as are most Audis.

Let's be honest...none are 'Hot Hatches' any more...something weighing in at 1300kg, possible 4wd, and built like a tank, isn't a 'hot Hatch'.

I didnt whip his ass at all mate, just gradually pulled but would have been down to his newer engine. They are identical speed terms as its the same engine

I agree mate, i would class the S3 as more of a GT car than a hothatch. The audi is alot more numb than the gti though yeah, i like the feel though as its a little more solid and i cant really corner fast in london

How about a polo GTI ?

We do have a polo gti 3 door on order with every box possible ticked but polo gti's have been taking months and months to come through didnt help they had shortage of dsg boxes which is of course the only option for the gti.

Will be a really smart little motor however like everything these days alot of money.
