Quote from: Horney on 27 October 2007, 15:39Funny you should mention this as I was only just reading in an old car mag about these 2 against each other earlier today.They basicly said that the R32 was thirstier, handled less well due to the extra weight up front and didn't feel "special" over the standard GTi even with the optional leather and sat nav. Their conclusion was buy a well spec'd Gti as it was the better car.It was CAR magazine and they were testing them with the Astra VXR, Focus ST, Megane Cup or whatever its called, Mini Cooper S Works and BMW 130. The focus came 1st mostly due to price and the GTi 2nd. The R32 came about 5th.Nickis this onlineor anyone got a copy to put online to view?thanks
