New R32

Right, initial impressions - considering I have driven it like an 80 year old OAP back home - is that it feels less hardcore, softer and manic than my Edition 30.  Its weird because I remember when I changed my 06 plate GTI for a new 56 plate R32 and I remember it being a harsher ride and more urgent.  Of course, to be fair, I have spent in excess of £5k modding the Edition 30 and its running at 321.4bhp... just shows how quickly you get used to power increases as the Edition 30 feels like a standard one to me now!  But the R32 is our family car and for that its excellent - my wife loved the ride and thought it was very soft and compliant :laugh: . Well it would be compared to the Bilsteins I have on the Edition 30!  I'm sure it'll reveal its true character once its run in though.  I'm very happy with it as its exactly what I wanted, something that is a family car but still sporty with bags of character- the R32 - and a hard core tuned track car - the Ed30.

Your right what you say about getting use to the power, I think mine is tame enough but a mate jumped in and said when he nailed it it was like kicking Satan in the nuts  :jumping:
