I had a mk4 R32 years ago, they are a nice car. You may well enjoy the car if you're not too fussed about the performance. They feel very slow, but as you say it's not all about the acceleration. They sound amazing, feel good on the road, look smart, have lovely seats etc.

I always thought a supercharged one would be a perfect car for me.

I know you say they can't be that slow but they don't feel their power. My ex bro-in-law had an Alfa gtv v6 at the same time I had my R32, it was similar power (slightly less iirc) but it actually felt quick. The R32 literally feels like it's not even a performance car if you try and thrash it. The only thing they do really well is tickle along, they feel ok keeping the revs low and nipping quickly through the gears. The throttle response is lovely and you touch the pedal and wham, you think here we go... and it all ends there!
