Then he'd do the same with a rear differential, a prop-shaft and some driveshafts. Whereupon a familiar vocabulary would be bestowed upon the vehicle. First would come the inert steering, then the shabby body control, closely followed by curiously asthmatic performance. But all of it would be overshadowed by the main event - some good ol' 4wd understeer."It's a heavy Golf with a very heavy engine right up front. Of course it's not going to handle as well as a GTI.Have you ever driven one Andrew?

I upset the fanboi's on R32OC by suggesting a stock ED30 would keep one honest. Oops.Having owned both I think I am fit to comment. The R32 though is special, theatrical, musical and not a bad steer to boot. Yes there are better but I would own another in a heartbeat given 6 numbers.
As for the Golf R....it has a back end like a bus as you can tell I'm not a fan on the golf R! Rocco R yes...but no 4WD isn't great

Rocco R yes...but no 4WD isn't great Hang on a mo, the Golf R has a back end like a bus but you love the rocco R?, thats like saying you prefer a small bum on a lady and taking J-Lo over Kate Moss
Maybe I should have worded differently, Golf R back end like Beyonce, Scirocco R back end like J-Lo (Huge!).Was not having a pop, just did not sound right saying Golf R has huge back end then saying you love the Rocco R with an even bigger back end Someone else said they like R32 for rarity?, since owning my Ed30 (October last year) I have seen 2 Ed30's and seen about 17 R32's (MK5), maybe there are lots of them round my way
I was always lead to belive a stock ED30 had the edged on a stock R32
