....The review I posted got wiped in the site's HD failure, SO8, but I recently drove a friend's Mk5 R32 APS Stage3 with Haldex in Race mode back-to-back with another friend's VW Racing road legal 290 bhp GTI with Quaife diff and WOW!! The R32's 'AWD' gripped well but the tyres squealed and the body rolled (only a little), but the GTI was planted flat and as if on rails!! Both were DSG with AP brakes and Milltek, but that V6 soundtrack is glorious! You just can't equal that sound advantage.

I do know what you mean ... I came from a TVR Griffith to an Edition 30 - which soundtrack wise is quite a change   ...

....TVR's make a sound to die for!! One of the very best imo.
