In my opinion the R32 has two things working against it- the fact it can only be had with a DSG, and the weight penalty of the VR6 and the AWD. Modern cars are getting too heavy; take the lightest one you can get. Between these two, that would be the GTI.
Is that what "Here you can tell tales of the Golf/Rabbit/GTI vs. other types of cars" means? Tales of should i buy a certified used 2008 gti r32 with 16k miles for 26k, or should i wait and buy a 2011 gti? Cool tale.

While the GTI produced the slowest lap time of this event, the improvements over the previous, nearly identical 2007 GTI we drove at the 2006 Lightning Lap are nothing short of staggering. The biggest change to the 2010 model, aside from its sheetmetal, is a retuned suspension. This GTI improved by 5.8 seconds over the previous iteration, with sector-time enhancements across the board. Moreover, it was 2.5 seconds quicker than the more powerful, 250-hp VW R32 from the ’08 event.
and this is stock for stock, add a stage1 to the Gti, on track, to see probably higher score!
I had the choice between an r32 and a 2010 gti too.
