Haha never said it wasn't but one hell of a car for the money.

I'm not to bothered by looks if I am honest.

My subaru was the 5 door. Very ugly but one hell of a car.

Why not keep the golf and get a Noble M12 GTO?

As I said in a previous post the Passat R36 is a good car!

If I had the money I would consider buying one (if I could find one, rare as anything).

It would be a real 'Q'car especially if you removed the rear badge. People would think it was another boring old Passat TDi (no offence) until you give it some beans!

My s4 Avant was de-badged and I must say the guy in the impreza got a bit of a surprise when I out dragged him on the A1 a few years ago!

had a look on autotrader there was one for sale. They do look good but with a 3.6 litre engine you would want it be probably a little bit more powerful

My RS4 V8 was an awesome machine, Ok not the fastest of estates out there, but in all conditions, rain, shine, cold etc, the performance never changed and was useable, and it could confortably take 5 adults and loads of luggage.  I averaged about 16-17 mpg over 7000 miles......worth it though.

Throwing an oddball in there, what about a 335D touring? Mine was running 350BHP/520ftlb - Not much out there to keep up with it, although very easy to drive fast so quite boring - So good in fact I had two!

mmm, i dont really do enough mileage at present to justify a machine running the devil's fuel, but otherwise yes am sure would be a very good car to beat. so the 335d had more torque than the RS4 so did it feel/was it actually quicker?  :surprised:

It was quicker than the RS4, especially once rolling, in fact it was quicker than most things.  One word to describe it was relentless!
