Now if VW would now price it more reasonably then it would really be a winner...

Isn't the RS3 £10k more?

[Poppa Dom]

Depends what spec I've seen a fully loaded r on the forecourt got £39k!

Used ones are knocking around £26k now though:)

they wont be up for that price when the RS3 hits the forecourt.  you would have to be a nutter to choose the R over the RS3 atthe same price

I know the owner of that car, and quite a margin away from 10k depreciation on that car in 18 months

I think the R is a real looker.

Especially knowing you can get the missus, the kids, the dog and yourself (if you're wanted) in through proper 4 doors. I've never been keen on the original 4 door S3. The recent 4 door S3 is growing on me but still not like the back end.

However the R looks like it needs to be given a try. Like you guys said, wait for the prices to catch up with reality. :)

has any test driven an R? how do they feel to say an Ed30 or a revo stg 1 gti? i know it is 4wd but does it blow you away or is it a bit a let down bearing in mind price?
