your question was standard vs standard
the r32 is a great complete package IMO
ok it's not the quickest hot hatch even though with the biggest engine, but it has a fantastic v6 and 4wd.
downside with v6 is the extra cost in fuel and insurance, but as you do not many miles, hardly going to break the bank probably.
people mention about the gti 'tuned'
but what's the cost of this and where do you draw a line?
if you get a remap will you stop there, or will there be the temptation of dv, exhaust, lowering springs etc. while the r32 generally does all this from the box with better brakes.
but to change the feel of the car, try a remap you won't regret it.
