For V6 experience I would buy something with a proper V6 to at least get the full on rush to fuel bill ration right :grin:
Nothing worse than a Mk4 1.8t with cheap map and Babyliss turbo pissing past you, the exhaust note of your V6 drowned out by his chavy laugh and the sight of his back turned cap the last thing you see :grin:

Nailed it!

Looks like I'm saving my pennies for an ED30. Cheers all!

personally id pick the r32. just becuse of the fact that it doesent need modifying.

the ed you could argue doesent need modifying, but you probly will get a map or something and thats where it all starts.

the r32 will also handle better. and cause your not using it as a daily you wownt be racking up the miles so you can buy a sh!tter for the daily to rack up the miles....

Are you being serious?? A standard r32 is pretty crap other than note mate spend a wee but in her and they are epic!! And an edition 30 will handle a lot better spend 400 and it will be 275bhp!!! I don't know anyone who has not had to spend a bit of money on an r32 to make it interesting!!

its all down to personal choice, yes the R isnt the fastest car or the most amazing handling, however, i could happily live with a standard one.

the mk5 i couldnt live with, i dont think they look nice full stop. and i doubt i would ever own a mk5 unless someone said to me tomorow they have a mint mk5 thats low milage and they only wanted something stupid like sub 2k for it...

personal preference mate.

It is all down to choice/taste at the end of the day, if its a good car and a bargain then get it out of your system.
Nowt wrong with an R32 really...

The 3.2 Alfa GTV has the most epic note and is an awesome drive, if the body and electrics did not fall apart at will and you could get more than 20mpg I would have one :grin:
Would still be bothered by the odd 1.8t thoguh :grin:

My brother has a Merc 3.5 V6 at just under 300bhp, this is an awesome car and leaves most for dust even with a slush box.

In both of the above you dont look like a chav/patron of Maccy D's :laugh:
