7R or RS3
Msportman:
Ive had a Golf R on test for 24 hours and was very impressed on pretty much all aspects. Obviously being a standard car the outright pace fell slightly short of my mapped Edition 30 not that a stage 1 remap would remedy that but the chassis from the factory with ACC was sublime on the 'road' especially in wet Britain.
I drove the RS3 last year and concur that sound was superb and reminiscent of days gone by with the old 20v Quattro. I didn't and couldn't fully exploit it 8-10th degree handling with the salesman sat beside but it was a special place to be and as previously mentioned there aern"t many around. The R represents great value but I fear that many thousands will be lost over a 3-4 year period when I may want to change and get a MK8.
The other car that really interests me is the BMW M2 now sold out for this years paltry allocation and most of next years UK has also gone
I'd like to see it in the flesh first but the RWD option on wet UK roads would surely hamper ones progress on our roads.....great in the dry but with all of that torque to the rear one could easily get in trouble.
Time to take stock but the RS3,is hovering on used R8 values but is far more practical and I see it as perhaps a better financial decision if one can stomach the extra outlay.
