New Winding Road R Write Up

I like how the R is subtle, but totally different to people who know what they're looking at. I don't attract attention from cops or street racing kids, and I'm OK with that.

I agree and the car is so clean!

Only thing I agree on is the 2.0... every R had something different then the rest...MK4 had the 3.2 VR6.. hopefully the next R gives them something to shut up and write about!

Personally I like the R the way it is...
I would not compare this car to a WRX or STI for that matter.
In my mind the car's audience is slightly different.
A more mature car with much nicer interior and much more refinement
and to my eyes much better styling.

Having traded my 2010 GTI autobahn dsg for the R I can say the R is a lot lore car
The car feels planted when driving at speed in the corners or rolling the highway (comfort)
The brakes are way better
The R doesn't lift the inside wheel on fast corner exits like the GTI
No torque steer like the gti (specially on corner exit. see above )
It rides quieter
Less of them on the road
Better resale
Feel like a million bucks when I drive it
I feel it's a def. a better car and worth the coin

I love that not everybody knows that hit them when I get off the line quick. Only certain people know that this is a limited edition car. The interior is amazing and even if there are not a whole lot differences of styling between the GTI and the R, it's enough to stand out just a bit. Cops never even look at you and you look so much more composed compared to the Jap "Racers" out there.
