Is an R a upgrade to the GTi ?

Eh! 

Me not understand this comment?

I was just literally commenting on how long Neil has not been in his GTI....

After one day on not driving yours, you are pulling your hair out?
I have to look at mine sat there every day of the last 8 months...and there is still another 4+ to go before I can drive it.
I've managed to get taken out for a spin in it 4 times...and it's hard. 

If you think a day is hard...try 12 months.

A small issue of an overtaken unmarked Police car, two lying Police officers, a grumpy Procurator Fiscal and a crusty of hag of a Sherrif having a bad day.
The result being the 'privilege' of 12 months on foot patrol, the 'opportunity' to re-sit my driving test and the pleasant feeling of having my bank account emptied to the tune of £950.
First offense too...otherwise completely clean licence.
Arse.

Sorry to take this off subject first and foremost!

But OMG! That's some real bad luck man, I feel for you esp as it was your first offence, this is where the justice system just stinks, I mean ok you got court out but the powers at be shud take your record into account when giving these sort of sentences out, if it was me I wud of thort points(maybe 6) and a fine...but to ban you...

Sorry to hear pal!

Personally, I wouldn't buy an R. It would be a shed load more money for, on the face of it, the same car. Interior is pretty much identical with blue in place of red, and external panels are pretty much the same too.

One of my neighbours has a Golf S and that's what he says about the GTi

Yep, if we all took that attitude we would all be in standard Golfs.

I reckon if you want an R then the R is an upgrade from a GTI and therefore worth the money.

But if you simply want a better GTI, which is what I think the original post is more accurately pointing towards, stick with the GTI until such times as a suitably improved model has been released.

That was a 200 ps US GTI v 270 ps European R , i find that a bit hard to believe and that man couldn't change gear at all, what a jerkfest in both ways.
