Hi guys,
I am deciding between purchasing a 2012 base golf r stage 2 with 10k miles and a 2011/2012 135 with the N55 engine with around 25-35k miles. I currently drive a 2010 stage 1 GTI and am longing for something with more power and better ability to put down the power. The rational choice is the BMW 135 since it is more car for the money but I somehow can't seem to write off the golf r. I was wondering whether anyone has been in a similar situation or has any general input..it would be appreciated. I've driven both vehicles. The 1er sounds a lot nicer, feels more refined and has a smoother powerband. The stage 2 golf r on the other hand, feels perhaps a little bit faster and more raw. I have never owned a RWD or AWD car so I do not know which I'd prefer. Thanks for looking guys.
