time will tell. He is still breaking in the car. His missus has the Golf GTi and it goes like a scalded dog with launch control. Exhaust on R32 sounds throaty as and looks freaking awesome in balck with chrome grill FTW

hahaha yep your are correct. My mate is a lawyer (defends guys who get caught for hooning, ect would you believe) and he has been driving a 89 commonwhore for a long time. He bought his wife the GTI last year and then waited forever to get the black R32.

don't worry I am pushing hard towards this. Told him the R32 was nicely appointed but wouldn't beat the GTI off the line, well that got him thinking didn't it!
