Admittedly it is expensive to run... All in all I have worked out that my R costs me about £750 per month!!
Which is a small mortgage I guess you could say. Althought I am still undecided as to if I would purchase one myself... the prospect of having one with a small conversion to 300bhp does sound like a shed load of fun.. not to mention having a supercharged version.
In reality it would just be too much cost and I like to have a new car every couple of years!
As for all the R32's advertised... I took mine to central london to visit a friend before xmas. I cannot understand why anyone in London would own or want an R32 (or GTi) for that matter. I must have averaged about 10mph over the entire weekend.... and spent £100 of fuel. So anyone who travels alot during rush hour... or in a busy city is fast going to realise they have made the wrong purchase!!
