My mrs is into cars but hasn't passed yet. I'm just trying to convince her she DOES want a mk1 golf as her 1st car, a wee project I can work on for her of course  :smug:

She wants a bloody new mini. There alright I guess

I've just come from a 245hp Mk4 Ibiza Cupra with a 1.8 20vt to a mk4 r32, fuel difference isnt too bad, a tank costs £20 more but i get about 30-50 more miles out the tank (i've been advised i dont drive the r32 properly though haha)

Main difference for me is the grip from the r32, the independant rear suspension must really help and of course the haldex when you're pushing it, the noise is amazing too and the interior of course! The cupra was abit lairy to drive, even with a fancy diff, r32 is allot more relaxed and has calmed me down allot. I think this is because it needs to be revved to go fast whereas there was that much torque low down with the cupra, it kind of got abit addictive!

Only petrol mk4 i'd go for would be the r32, i'd much rather a Leon Cupra R other-wise.

I looked at 2 last weekend as iv always wanted one. Lad did say if I get V6 il always be wanting R32.

What's it like when you put foot down then? As iv never drove one.
How many miles you get out of an average fill up of 40 squid? It's about 60 odd quid to fill my V5

60 quid to fill up your v5 you must be getting cheap fuel!!!  my 4mo costs nearly £80 to fill now... And the 4mo and the R32 isnt that much in it when remapped with the miltek and the price i paid for my 4mo i wont complain as i have been right behind a few r32's... Dont get me wrong i would of bought a r32 but the 4mo was at that time nearly 7k cheaper And as BarryM will also verify his old 4mo there wasnt much diff performance wise with his mods  :cool:  Either way if you can afford the r32 go for it But you will get about 160 miles to 180 for £40
