I easily beat 2 R32s in my old corsa GSI XE. The guy was gutted when I told him it was only a 1.6

 Sadly its a heavy arse, think the BHP/Ton works out at (edit) 163.04bhp/ton. Then you've 4x4 losses to take into account!

Well i got wasted by a new r32 comming off a roundabout so the XE boys who think they have a chance are just
Rember the punchy midrange and the thenominal grip can generate 
Guy on my brothers campus has a supercharged R32 it trully sounds amazing!

Lets face it MK4 Golf are very nice cars to drive etc..not much steering feedback etc but from a comfy/quality/easy to drive aspect there ain't many cars that match it.My Audi A3 was the same.
Combine that with a smooth V6 engine plus the sound and great looks and outright speed isn't important although i doubt they are slow.
I'd love a blue one  Mind you with all the Tax bollocks going on i'd get an S3 and tune it up and get some decent suspension and brakes on it.
