their all right i suppose...
depends on what you want one for really... performance is ok, but the gearing is terrible on them...
i do think there are some autos out there but not many

R32's are very nice looking cars but not as fast as some people think

Its for me dad needs a 2nd car for business, doesnt wanna spend loads so R32 in not an option hes buying an m3 too so speed is not essential but he dont want no slow peice of poop.

The power delivery is very smooth, more of a tourer than a hot hatch. Me and my dad went on some back roads yeasterday and it goes up hills etc at ease in 4th or 5th gear ( 6 speed box) The only downside is that the throttle isnt very responsive.
