Am I mad!? Stg2+ edition 30 to mk4 R32??
« on: July 11, 2014, 06:44:29 pm »
Got an itch for that v6 sound!!

But I'll miss the power I think? Are they really that slow??

Help! Can't help but think its a downgrade not an upgrade? But would love to own a mint one, one day.

Not sure I would go so far as to say it would be a backward step but I would imagine you would notice the "dated" design... Perhaps a Mk5 R32 would be better, Still love the stance of those cars plus that lovely sounding engine. Personally I couldn't justify the running costs ... fuel, tax etc. Probably a fair bit slower than your current car unless in the wet off the line ...  :surprised:

Someone off the forum did MK5 GTI to MK4 R32 and although he loved it at first, he sold it a few months later  :sad1:

Your mad keep the Edition 30 as going from 350-360 bhp to 240 is a BIG step down in power. But at the end of the day its your choice just make sure you don't regret it if you do.

That's the thing it's a big step down in power.... But would the sound make up for it?!

You'll be losing 100ish bhp in real numbers but the lack of a turbo kick will make it feel like you've lost 200bhp.

They sound incredible but the 4wd system and the incredibly smooth, linear power make for a boring drive.

Not to mention the mk4 has a softer less responsive chassis to start with.

The only option here is a mk5 r32 turbo.

I still find the mk4 R32 desirable. Would have to be a highly tuned one though  :driver:

Mk4 R32 is the best looking Golf to date IMO but would I swap one for my Eddy, feck no. If I could have both.......thats a whole other story!  :love:

Is your money, you'll need to scratch that itch sooner then later.
