LULZ^ ... and its always from R owners
I purposely bought the A3 OVER a Golf R. But, if the Golf R was out in 2010 when I bought my GTI, I would have most likely gotten one at that time. But after learning more about it (FSI engine, same brakes as 2008), I do have to say it was too expensive again at MSRP - but, now that its being discounted, its definitely a better deal for what it is.
I have no personal vendetta against any car - but I do evaluate cars based on equipment, price, relevance, and performance. Of which, similar to 2008, the Golf R has a few issues there, just as the MKV R32 did.
I'm a big fan of the R(20), don't get me wrong, but there is still some "issues" with it here and there. It's not like I wouldn't turn one down if it was free, lol.. AND if they had the DSG option this time around, I would have probably gotten one (while in 2008, I wanted MT and 4doors.. go figure).
yep..
