Very nice,

I can imagine many people on here are getting the itches/urges to sell their MK5 GTi for one of these

[QD MBE]

A couple from Volkswagen.de 

The same................

[SteveP]

^^^ Your not wrong QD

Case closed

^^^^

I don't think the Golf R and the S3 look the same at all, but perhaps you guys mean more similar in the mechanicals.

[SteveP]

^^^ Nope I don't mean mechanical similarities, the Golf R look more for like the Audi than any of the previous equivalent models from the two brands IMHO.

I think it looks far more purposeful personally. In fact, i like it so much i want to place an order. Unfortunately i cant afford to place an order.

Anyone wanna sell a winning lotto ticket??

Or a spare Kidney

it looks nice but not for me thanks i love my ed30 too much pure and simple  and by the time u have spent all that money changing to the mk6 you could have done so much to your car and it would destroy that all day long  infact u could 4 mo a mk5 if you had the balls 

[Phil Mcavity]

infact u could 4 mo a mk5 if you had the balls

Good point though Matt

[Deako]

Not for less money you couldnt. Unless you do every single step yourself.

Would be cheaper to turbo an R32, more power and already 4motion

Having sold my mk5 back in March I could be tempted - will wait and see what price tag it holds and see if its really worth it over a GTI, obviously its more but is it really worth it all in the real world.

Do like the 3 door look too, although it may have to be 5 for me - got to be a little sensible

Ed30 could be traded for a new R20

What I think is really interesting for us guys who stay with our Mk5's, is that our cars are suddenly no longer the latest state-of-the-art but are now fast becoming a revered classic in the GTI heritage.

I find the Golf R far more exciting than the Mk6 GTI but love my modified Mk5 so much that a swop is pointless (so I'm going to keep telling myself). I called in socially on my VW dealer this morning and the top guy came over and asked me what I thought about the Golf R - He said he'd call me in for a test drive as soon as they had one next year. Help!
