Good point about thieves - I had to sell my mk4 R32 because it was constantly targeted by them. I'd only get one if you have a garage - the wheels and body kit are too easy to nick and stick on a sh1tty 1.4 mk4 Golf (or whatever).
Mk4 and mk5 both get to 100 quicker (15ish compared to 17ish) than a VXR and they don't torque steer and grip better - so HOW is the VXR faster? |
IMO the R32 looks really dated now. Go for the VXR or the ST these 2 cars alone practically killed of Subaru and set new bench marks for the hot hatch.
|
Are you talking about a Mk5 R32?
If so my wife has one and you should buy one for the noise alone :D |
I thought about a VXR as a change from playing with 4wd jap machinery but the centre dashboard area alone was emough to put me off lol.
I had an R32 (mk4) a few years ago and absolutely loved it! Quite slow though, felt responsive and you'd think "here we go" and then it'd just pootle along. I guess after owning turbo'd stuff you're always waitng for that kick in the back grunt. I think an R32 with a turbo or supercharger conversion would be a superb car. |
Of the two i would go for the R as i have never liked Vauxhall interiors.
|
Yep - I went from a mk4 R32 to a mk5 Astra and the worst thing about the latter was the dash - utterly horrible compared to the Golf. The rest of the car wasn't bad though.

Or there is always the mixture of both I suppose.. = Edition 30 / S3?
That way you have massive tuning potential (more so than the VXR) AND something with luxury and good residuals.. |

No contest VXR .. Pants My bro has a R32 looking Trick http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/c...5767_98432.jpg http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/c.../AndysR321.jpg :thumb: |
R32 all day for me, for the noise alone. After having VAG cars alongside the scoob for many years I'm converted. Maybe I should take a look at ford/vauxhall offerings to see how they have improved. I like both the look of the ST and the VXR.

Good idea Ben, but doesn't the edition 30 Golf still fetch 16k+, what power is yours running mate must be well over 300bhp
Still as it was last time I saw you (about 320-330ish). But will be about 350-360 come the summer ;) |
