Standard Golf GTI Vs R32

[dan_apps]

I think the MK4 R32 is always gonna be a classic - even more so then the MK5 R32...

why?

I think the main thing here is that no-one was hurt, regardless.

As long as everyone's statements all match up this should be closed up without anything further coming from it.

I feel for you too, If I was driving I'd be well cut up about it, just for the shock factor itself.

whats vwkev on about lol oh and mk3 vr6 isnt a classic   tbh thinking about it i dont think any mk5 will ever be a real classic either only classics are the mk1 and possibly mk2 as all new cars now are the same ie luxurious etc where as the mk1 gti and indeed even the mk2 are raw and full of character where as new cars of today will probably never have that craziness and character just like the series 1 rs turbo and mk1 xr2 etc they have classic character and even a bit of racing blood in them

^agree a TRUE classic will always be something like a triumph stag, gt6 or mgb, mgc. vr6 is merely a sought after car by a minority, same goes for a mk5, mk2 etc imo

No one has made an original car for about 20 years, so I agree - MK1 and MK2 are only doing to be the "real" classics.

But the MK5 IMO is a damn fine car

For me a classic is defined more as a car that you grew up seeing and wanted... When I first got into cars the MK2 gti was the one seen on the road so naturally for me that is the classic golf gti.

Was chatting with a mate last week and I was talking about getting a nice example mk2, to which his response was "no way, they are crap, the MK3 is the best". Now bearing in mind that hes a couple of years younger than me its the car that was on his bedroom wall when he was young.


So its probably more down to what appealed to you when you were slightly younger, as opposed to who tells you that something is a 'classic'.

+1 r32uk damn good way to put it mate mk1/mk2 for myself a guy in work was selling a g60 in work in baby blue a little while ago was running some serious power but still looked standard and subtle very very nice think he got around 5k for it in end
