If the R32 was pushing out 290bhp and was £2,5 - £3k cheaper it would be a viable option. But as it stands the cost of buying and running against performance just doesn't add up to me. VW missed a trick with this car. They had all the ingredients to make a flagship model that really stood out, but it just seems like they lost their bottle a bit. Its a good car but had the potential to be so much more.
