Made the decision after a lorry crashed into the drivers door of my Gti...got the car back fixed but it had no coilovers, standard wheels and the map was wiped off it when it returned so it wasn't any fun to drive at all!

yes!! the whole ride feels so much different! it feels a lot smoother and its just constant power, where as the Gti felt aggresive and you could feel the turbo built up between gears where as the R is just a constant pull. It feels alot better built aswel but i dunno if thats because after the crash i felt the Gti was a bit untable but that was probably all in my head. Although i loved the noise of the turbo spooling up and the dump valve nothing will make you smile as much as planting your foot and listening to the exhaust note on the R. Handling wise i have so much more confidence in the R, i can plant my foot in the wet weather and not wheelspin where as you know urself the Gti is a little bit slippery in the wet, it just feels more safe in wet weather going into corners etc, cant fault it so far. if you do make the switch you will love it
