Can't decide upon new car.

[yamangman]

when do you get it?

March 12th.

I don't think the golf GTi is powerful enough. I mean it's a big gap, but i'd save up for the R32, it's HAWT!

= D

They had a 2nd hand 4k mile R32 that I test drove. It was actually considerably cheaper than some of the GTI's and much cheaper than the new rocco.

There was an in-betweener: The 30th Anniversary came with 230bhp.

yamangman... may I suggest something for your new car?

Keep it clean.

I've seen three scirocco's now.. the first two were mint and they looked lovely. The third was pig dirty, and it looked squashed, ugly and lost it's charm.

The rear end, with no sun shine on the shape, looked like an elephant had sat upon it, and it kinda resembled.... a melted car. Like it had sagged.

But then a clean one looks, ... just right.

If need be, leave the front dirty, and just clean the arse end, cos it's a moose when it's dirty!

[yamangman]

Well I do about 15k on a good year (no tyre jokes). I'll try just for you though mate

Dude... no way... the R32 has double the horse power than the GTI. Well the 2009 GTI comes with like 210? They suped it up, and they have a new GTI-R, but that's supposed to replace the r32. LAME! Although it comes with 4WD and 265 HP

Hmmm I love the pure facts that are getting thrown around . . . . .

R32

Engine Size: 3189 cc
Cylinders: 6
0-60 mph: 6.3 s
Power Output: 246 bhp
Valves: 24
Torque: 320 Nm 236 lb-ft
Top Speed: 155 mph

GTI

Engine Size: 1984 cc
Cylinders: 4
0-60 mph: 7.0 s
Power Output: 197 bhp
Valves: 16
Torque: 280 Nm 207 lb-ft
Top Speed: 146 mph

Can't be forgetting about the Golf GTI Edition 30 now

Engine Size 1984 cc
Cylinders 4
0-60 mph 6.6 s
Power Output 226 bhp
Valves 16
Torque 300 Nm 221 lb-ft
Top Speed 152 mph

So I make it when you compare that to the R32, 20 BHP difference.

I'll have a wild stab in the dark that the R32 with its bigger engine and the 4wd system is to heavy to make the most from the 3.2 V6?

[Guy]

I just picked the standard GTI to show its only 49bhp difference. Not ZOMG TWICE TEH POWERZ.

I'm sure both are great cars, but I do love a V6 growly soundtrack

[Butcher]

The new GTI-R sounds like it's the Audi S3 with a VW badge - same engine, same 4wd...

New scirocco is the bees knees

[Vimeous]

How is it? doooo tell
Where are the piccies?
Do you just sit and stare at it?

Is it ..... the nutz?

[yamangman]

I really think it's fabulous, bit of a departure from cars I've owned in the past. Great turn of speed, excellent handling, interior is smashing, toys are all cool and intuitive. I'm just a whore for how it looks in the flesh though, pics won't do it justice! I'll take a pic and post it when I get some spare time.
