Standard Golf GTI Vs R32

[R32UK]

in all honesty wer'e all wrong as the best looking/performing value for money collactable is without a doubt the ed30 sexual in all ways ie looks, performance, rare etc, i want 1 lol

An edition 30 is not quicker than an R32. This has been done

If it wasnt for that chrome front of the R32, that makes it look like a passat, i would have went with the R32.
Because that that front, I much prefer my ED30 TBH. I do like the back of the R32 though, but am more then happy with my ED30

lol you didnt buy an R32 because of the front. What a stupid reason

I was commenting on the looks only.
Obviously the increased tax and running costs played a part!

£200 more a year to tax (mine is actually £210 though) and i get 30mpg on the motorway and high 20's even living in london. Theres very little difference in running costs between the R32 and GTI, nothing like say, a GTI and M3 for example. Even service costs are the same bar the haldex oil change.

yes jules a turbo r32 would annilate a modded ed30 but would cost the earth and just wouldnt be worth doing especially when someone comes along in a 10k standard evo8 and anillates your turbo32 lol so just not worth modding the 32 it should be quicker from standard imo its the top model costs alot more has a engine 60% bigger cc and is barely quicker than the ed30 = joke and anyone who thinks any mk4 will be a future classic is crazy i want what your taking lol R32 or not all mk4s are awful cars, its a insult to even mention it in same sentence as the mk1 or mk5   peace lol

Whoa whoa whoa, lets not go nuts.  Thats my first car you're slaging off   (a GTI not a R32).  The mk4 was admitidly a poor effort for a GTI but it had its charms, all it needed was a little bit of remapping and it was the car VW should have rolled out.  Lets not mention the 2.0's

Thats the point!!! the R32 is not alot more than the ED30... infact when I went in to get mine the ED30 was costing alot more!

p.s. A evo 8 anillate a turbo'd R32??? are we talking about the 450bhp version or the 650bhp .:R32??
