Very surprising performance from the R32 IMO - thanks for the link.

Default Interesting to note that the R32 didnt get good reviews in European magazine when

compared to Focus RS and other small european but high powered cars...Afterall, this is VW site (and so a bit biased) and if you notice they spent a good portion of the review talking abou the interior. neverthless, the article was great and looking forward to the R32...the exhaust on that thing just sounds awesome

Default One thing I'm taking in to account here is mod-ability.

EVO and STi are gonna be much easier, and cheaper to mod than the R32...Hrmph. Damnit all. Now I've got like 6 cars to choose between.

Default Yeah, I've been bashing it since day one for its weight. Sounds like it might be a lot of fun anyway

Still too pricey compared to the competition though IMO. Although, some people just want a German car - period. In that class, there really aren't a lot of other German cars with the same kind of features.
