nicks3 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Just wondered what everyone thinks to the current R32 (if they were ordering new now) bearing in mind the various rumours of the R36/RSi and facelifted/new mark 6? Also how would the S3 fair in the equation although there is no DSG model yet...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliFH Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I think it really comes down to two things with the R32 and the S3 - 1. Do you prefer a blown 4 pot or 6 cylinders, and 2. Do you want an Audi badge on your car... I know the S3 is quicker, and easier to get more power out of but for me when it came down to ordering (and it was between these two) it was just the eventfulness of the golf that swung it for me As for R36/ RSi golf there has been so much talk about it - but second guessing VW seems a bit tricky. IMHO there will be an RSi golf (not R36 - reckon they will keep R32 for golf/ R36 for passat), but I just can't see it being a mk V. I know there are problems with the mk v in terms of production costs but it's only been going around 3 years and I just cant see a 'super' mk vi before 2009/10...

bigface Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 i dont have mine that long though if something happened it i mite consider an s3 purely for something a little quicker. although that is only a mite i love the car just wish it came with more bhp standard though its no slow as it is!

nicks3 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Olifh that is very interesting. The R32 does certainly have an unforgettable character!!! It sisnt always about outright speed, it is more importnant how a car achieves that. My 335d is a prime example of this, very very quick but in a clinical way.. In addition to this it is cheaper, can have 5 doors and DSG........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicks3 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 The 'idea' has never left mate The main thing stopping me is the confusion over how long the current R32 will be 'current'...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisel Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Have a look at http://www.3harts.nl/ A salesman at my local stealers reckoned that it was a very good site for seeing new and proposed cars from VW. No R36 Golf mentioned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
