But compared to your ed30 or polo does it feel more detached? A little too easy if you know what i mean, being 4wd and dsg? I guess once stage 2+ with chassis mods it will feel more focused and then more of a fair comparison.
Love the rocco R's aggressive looks, id be happy with either of the R's tbh, swaying towards the rocco though 
Yes the .:R definitely feels more detached, but then again they both had heaps more mods than the .:R does at the moment. Ask me the same question when the .:R has full bolt-ons inc WMI and suspension and I think my answer may be different 
The 'Rocco is a gorgeous looking car and I wouldn't doubt anyone's reasoning for getting one if track performance was their aim. 
Even with identical chassis mods as the Polo or Eddy i think it will never be as nimble because its simply heavier.
That said, i loved havin APRs Golf R as a daily driver. bloody thirsty and loud, but what a laugh, and the grip
But ultimately, i wouldnt drive it any faster than i do the Fabia irrelevant of having an extra 100-200hp which is why as much as i love the idea of having that much performance at hand, i wouldnt use it so for me it would only be a willy waiving exercise.
I often trawl ebay and autotrader looking at Audi A8 4.2TDI Quattros though.
