What made you swap for a GTI? The mk4 R32 was a fantastic car so I'm kinda curious  :smiley:.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Being a previous owner of 2 MK5 R32,S!!! I do miss having one.The grip was unreal actually better than my RS4!!! Certanily miss the exhaust note and again the R32 on full chat got me more attention than the RS4 curenntly.
Go for it and get one as i always say "you only live once" and in a few years time you wont be able to enjoy a peformance car in this f**king global warming,tree hugging world we live in!!! :angry: :angry:
I personally didnt think the running costs were unmanageable but again depends on mileage and useage i suppose.

GO ON GET ONE,YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. :grin:

Iv owned my R32 for about 6 months i think...im not really good with dates and i certainly have enjoyed those few months of driving! The running costs of the car are not that bad, obviously depending on mileage and to be fair petrol prices in Gibratlar are fairly cheaper than here in the UK....Having owned a GTI before my R32 i must add that traction is really noticeable and 4WD can be fun when you know what your doing...not that i 100% know what im doing but you get me...the sound of that V6 sound track is Lush as people here in wales say and i deffinatley do miss it!  :sad:

simple i wanted a white gti  :wink: as i could not get a white r32 at the time and the ed30 is so much easier to tune and is cheaper to tune and fuel was not a part of it at all, i just like the way the ed30 looks  :cool: no v6 but i can live with that

In the entire time I owned my MK5 R32 I never stopped having a grin on my face each time I heard the exhaust crackle as you blipped the loud pedal!!
