Tough one ben, I think the golf has won it for me. Especially now the rear lights are sorted.

I am sticking with my current model for the foreseeable.
Its nearly ready for my track days next year so couldn't bare to see it leave.

I think it will be hard to resist once peeps start modding them though.  :evilgrin:

I think that's down to the fact it's an R and not a GTI, I know that will sound very odd but the GTI brand just feels more special to me  :smiley:


....That doesn't sound odd to me either - The GTI is a brand with a 30+ year heritage. I love the R's but they are a different tradition.

If I felt it was time to sell mine, my next car would very likely be this R20 but still subject to a long test drive.

Ride height looks pretty good straight out of the box   :happy2:

Note the blue brake calipers have gone.

No way I can afford one any time soon but black (v. mean) or steel grey get my vote!  :wink:

....I'm thinking exactly the same as you, TC! Too fond of mine.

I think my best method of resistence will be to stop visiting forums like this one!
