Even better A3 Quattro DSG, basically the Golf R with a slightly longer body, DSG, Audi badges, and newer TSI engine.

K04 it and RASEKAR.

Golf R is a better all arounder..i think when it comes to daily needs, etc..i mean both are nice, the M of course is gorgeous..

 

[johnny_p]

I'd pick the M3. Then again, I don't care about fuel mileage at all anymore. Drive both, see which tickles your jimmies more.

 

[adolan21]

M3 hands down. If it didn't get such bad gas mileage I would daily one. But that 4.0L V8 sounds amazing one of my favs.

 

[littleazn248]

I'm all for getting the M3 but, it's gonna suck balls when it comes around time to service that thing. BMW will rape your wallet.

 

[Jeffs2013GTI]

I would go with the Golf R, the M3 will cost even MORE $$$$ to insure unless your like 85. Also, Gas, and IF something were to break OMG

There's a 2-door TR Golf R with 10k miles in Nashville, TN and they're asking 28.9. I know that's far from you, but I mention it to illustrate that the deals are getting better.

I can't do two door... and its red . But yes if it is a "base" model it's not an "amazing deal" Essentially I am just looking at 4 doors only. Having 2 doors is one of my main gripes with my current TDI.

To add some more to this thread... I may sorta kinda start seeing this girl. And this is the kicker... she lives 65 miles away 1 way. Went out yesterday and I drove 230 miles.... I averaged 41mpg. That kind of MPG is hard to give up. I only used up 1/3 of a tank in the TDI, on the M3 I would have gone through the entire thing.

The financejewguy in me is an ASSHOLE. That's all I have to say...

I don't think I can manage to have the m3 as the only car I drive, just makes no sense. And I don't think I'll have it a second car because it's too good as a daily driver. I am not sure if that makes sense...

But similar to the setup I had before with my corvette... I may just go back to that. Full on balls out car for the "weekend" and fun commuter. Honestly I have come to realize that is the only way to fly for me.

GOLF R is the closest compromise car I can think of. The only issue with it is price at 35k OTD best case scenario, I'd rather get a used corvette/m3. But don't quote me yet... if I get a deal I will snatch one up.

ha... until i got done reading your post I thought you hated everything about the R..

I'm sure you've seen the certified 2012 Rising Blue at Capitol VW with 10k miles on it.. asking $32k or something.. maybe its a base. i was tempted, but maybe for $29-30.

here it is.. hmmm i see navigation in a pic.. wish i had the resources to go buy it right now.. but i don't. but nothing to lose so i asked them for an estimate on my Bee.

no front plate drilled...

you're killin' me, smalls.

All that shit is the same as an Autobahn GTI with just different piano black trim pieces swapped in :lol:

blue needles.. ok.. sure, they look nice.

sills... ok, I could care less about shit like that.

same leather seats.

brakes... good... but not great for the weight of that car.

I'm surprised you were that impressed just sitting in one. Have you not sat in an Autobahn?

For a premium R, maybe on the OTD. Base, cheaper. Used of each... a lot cheaper.

08+ Corvette would be baller. Or a 2002+ Z06 if on a smaller budget.

 

[MaliciousMK6]

I am kinda torn... I like that the Golf would be a nicer Daily... I don't know if I can daily a car that gets 15mpg haha I drive 15-20k miles a year still.

thats likely why you have a TDI

that's a premium, the price isn't too bad, imho, but there should be plenty of room to move on it. By us, premiums new had dropped to $33,9K, I would venture to start out at $30K for this and probably pay no more than $31K.
