Golf R superior fact.

[PenguinGTI]

the R is a far better car than the gti.... anyone that thinks other wise is crazy!


R everytime 

Gilly to you every car in the world is better than a Mk6 GTI.

The R is not a better car than the GTI.

The R true enough does offer certain aspects that the GTI does not (such as performance)...

...however...

... the GTI in turn offers advantages over the R (such as improved economy from a newer and more efficient engine, a bigger boot, GTI pedigree e.g. the tartan seats, a fun FWD chassis, and a lower pricetag).

To say one car is point blank better than another car is crazy. Each car offers it's own advantages which carry their own individual weight to the owner of the car.

Well said.
It is a wonderful car and works like clockwork.

the thing is, we are essentially comparing the same car i.e. a mk6 golf. So when we look at the differences, which is mainly performance... i dont see how you can argue the R is not the better car.

If its the car for you or isnt, thats a totally different story, but to say its not better is just madness.

The way I see it, is the GTI is a great car and the R just improves on it by being 4 wheel drive and having more horsepower, improved suspension and brakes. There both great cars but the R is a better  car. It was different when it was the mk5 GTI and the mk5  R32 as both had plus points and minus points, one handled great and the other sounded great but was a bit heavy and did not handle as good. But with the new R the handling is better than the GTI as the added weight is only about 150kg and the car feels better for it. To be honest if I was VW I would have called the new R a GTI-R  as this is what it basically is a GTI with a bit more go.

2 out of 3 magazines prefer the Mk6 Golf GTI.

But they take into account the initial costs and running costs.  If you don't care about costs then the R is a better car, as a performance car there is no doubt that it is much much faster that the GTI round a track.

Yep. It seems we are all idiots.

Is it also not strange that the 2WD Audi TT is preferred to the 4WD Audi TT by most reviewers?

Audi's are different though as most reviewers don't like Audi's 4wd set up saying that the drive is uninvolving.


The R is a better performance car.

So because the gti is cheaper to run and buy and more economical than the R does this make the Golf GT160ps better than the GTI ?
I think not,the gti is nice but the R is king of the Golfs. imo.
