Why it's the correct assessment of the car

I don't disagree with the article (though im yet to drive such four wheel drive golfs) just certain people seem to view golfs as beyond reproach thats all.

All cars are flawed in their own way, with very few exceptions - ignoring those flaws because of rose tinted glasses though is the worst thing to do.

I can't think of one Journo's report that has ever suggested a 4WD R is a better driver's car than its 2WD GTI cousin... yet owners still argue that 4WD makes it better.

Just had a go of a 07 wrx, was apparently chipped and had the prodrive exhaust. Quite liked it , never drove one before but it was as I expected .. Pretty fast , sounded good... Did seem quite cheap but I expected that aswell.. Think I would be happy owning one in the circumstance I'm looking at - getting me to work / fun ..

Haven't managed to try a s2000, 350z yet. Got a thing for a r32 though , torn between mk4 and mk5 , everything I've read says the mk5 is more grown up and refined etc but the mk4 more raw / fun ..

All sounds about right.

I know someone who has a MKIV race Haldex too, if you choose that.

Knowing what you intend to use it for and the type if driving you'll do, I think a mk5 R32 is a good shout tbh  
Mk4 is probably the more 'fun' car but a mk5 will be much more liveable with on a day to day basis imo, especially mit dsg...

It's hard because there's very little in it cost wise , low mileage mk4s are marginally cheaper than some of the 06 dsg mk5s, so makes sense to buy the newer I suppose. I have driven a dsg r32 and it was mint. This wrx was 7k, it was quicker than the r32 from memory but not arsed about that to be honest think i would still rather own the r32.

Waiting on a part ex out of interst , I think they'll take the piss though

We've both had the Mk5 R32 hankering for far too long so it's about time one of us did something about it haha! 

Frankly I find the whole 'it's slower than a gti / it's not as much fun / it only makes a nice noise' thing boring and irrelevant... As a car it's a damn nice one and a great ownership proposition imo, if you like them and it makes you smile who cares if it's not as fast as blah blah blah...
