GTIs are expensive, Rs are just silly money.

The main advantage of an R over a mapped GTI is 4WD. That's all.

Buy it fella. Mk6 Gti's are common as  :evil:.  drops a baited hook in the pool

Only 545 regestured R's on our roads.


 A 59 plate must be worth a reasonable 25k which is what it should of been valued at new.  :smiley:

He's right.

The Rs will bomb in value in a few years, the GTI won't.

That was on my list before getting the GTI, test drive 2 of them and wasnt impressed with the ride at all and the interior feels dated after the MK6.

I agree though that an older S3 does represent a great value car that can be tuned to f*ck.

Strange, Gilly is partial to a Sh!t3. I have just driven one and it exceeds its title and then some: it is a pile of Sh!t x 3 and growing. He thinks that it would be less wreckable in his gentle hands.  :tongue:
A horrid car.

Kenny: If one has to choose between two evils, go for the R. But if you have the slightest semblance of taste and intelligence, keep the GTI.  :smug:

They both will and the Gtd will rule

 :grin:

I'll be getting an R next or a mk7 something.

I mapped an S3 on Wednesday and I tend to test drive them afterwards, I have to say that I'm always blown away by just how fast they are.
