Someone give me some good reasons not to....

its already like £1k under trade...

hmm i will drive it this evening and give my full review it'll be my first time in an R, drove an old v6 4motion which was fun and plenty of different cooper S's and the odd supercar

the thing where i live is, even driving the gti like miss daisy its so hard to get over like 23mpg because of the stop start driving, will the r32 be much worse?

one of the things that is putting me off is the fact there is a certain ethnically challenged person in this area with an 08 plate one and a seat so low it looks like a 2yr old is driving..

ps who's in bournemouth!

I might just nick the xenons and have a thoroughly better car! haha

can you swap xenons between mk5's?

Not without a LOT of work and expense. They need the self levelling system otherwise they won't be road legal. Not a job for the faint hearted

The only thing that has a huge plus over any GTi is the V6 soundtrack. Its underpowered and  tooo heavy.

But the R badge has always had the Racing pedigree with it, so if your want it , go get it!

But still quicker than both the Gti and ED30

And probably even a remapped Ed30 300 days of the year in the UK.. but of course speed is only half the argument ED30 owners shout about. think about the V6 sound, blue tinted glass, xenon's, AWD stability in any weather, exclusivity, and or course the veyron stlye interior trim

I think it's in the best colour for an R32 (sorry R32UK/Manu  :embarassed:)

How many miles a year do you do anyway? If less than 10k and you want it go for it!

dads just baught a candy white R32 in singapore

Simple answer IMO is no don't get an R32.

Don't rate any of the wheels at all, don't rate the chrome GT grill either. Plus tax will rape you as well as consumption.

ohhh my god, putting xenons on my car would give an asprin a headache...

im reserving my decision on gti vs r32 until later I do have a soft spot for throaty engines and i doubt it'll disappoint!
