There is the odd exception to the blandness!

For me, i'd have the S3. its basically the same car as the mk6-R, but FOR HALF THE PRICE  

The exclusivity doesnt really justify it to me. . .Buy a decent spec S3 - £10k or a Golf R £20k

If money was no object, i'd have the Golf . Actually if money was no object, it would be an RS3

Me and Romany went and test drove the R today... AMAZING!

Lovely looking car, much prefer the looks of exterior and especially interior to the S3. Was great fun to drive and traction felt amazing, picked up speed pretty well off the line too. I was hoping it would rain to see how impressive it is in the wet but it didn't rain. It would be the R for me, more exclusive, about twice as many Ed30's than R's on the road isn't it? Even a basic spec R comes with quite a few bits as standard so thats good.

If the one today had more doors, DSG box and blue rather than silver I might have been tempted.

I was quite impressed by the subtle mud guard thingys too, thought they were a nice touch :

I also was torn between a s3 or a R,but in the end I brought a R due to nicer interior with a better Satnav,better dashboard lighting etc etc
