What Would You Rather Have - VW Golf R32 Or Audi S3?
 

Both similair cars, I assume the Audi is better built and slightly quicker. However, I'd have the R32 purely for the V6 and I love the the look. Your thoughts?http://www.autozeitung.de/online/bildDB/26246_450.jpg

Toughy, take it a new S3?

S3 i reckon. I LOVE 32's though.

Both the new ones. :top:

Gone for the R32 Benni.Are you buying one

r32 for me.

In my dreams.

Benni. :sad:

Infact yeah R32. There lovely, engine sounds awesome aswell. The V6 is alot better sounding than other V6's for some reason.

I think it's the exhaust.

Benni. :)

I think your right mate. Got the butterfly valves going on.

I'd love one when insurance allows, they have came down alot in price in recent times!

what car do you drive bennyson?

S3, Prefer the quattros over most cars tbh.

Toughy, but if I had to choose I'd take the Audi.

Sometime this year I will be getting my long awaited compensation claim. I'm told it will be over 50k and if it is I am going to own one and put the rest in a savings account. Who knows. Boothy, I own a Volvo C30. I was sat behind an R32 and when he took off, I was like a kid. :oops:

Benni. :)

Recently driven both and prefered the S3 !!! R32 felt to nose heavy

S3 any day mate, even tho audi and vw are same company audi's are much better made and hold the value better

R32 for me. A3 seems like the new chav gangster mobile round here (well not an S3 an A3 but suppose same can be said for a Golf :cry:). But deffo R32 as they come in a very very nice blue colour (can't remember the name). There is one down me street and it definitely attracts attention and looks the bollocks. Sounds proper raspy too!

Benni - don't start spunking money on a car mate, put it into a house or leave it and forget about it all until you are ready to buy a place.......honestly ;)

Do it. Not the best place to put your money but fuck it, only live once and all that.

Will be pennies soon aswell, can pick up tidy cars with plenty of options for £15k now.

Thats true, sensible head says buy a house now while there cheap. Then reap the rewards when the house prices go back up, cause they will.

£50k, thats a depo on a couple of houses that.

I will be putting at least a certain ammount into saving. So anything over this and I want one. Like Dave said, you really do only live once.

Benni. :oops:

S3 for me

R32 FOR ME

i drove a S3 not so long a go

just drove like a audi

drove a mark 4 R32

and wot a car :clap:

golf for me to

as a day to day car the s3
it'll cost less to run and it handles better, plus it's got more scope for upgrades

it also don't look as subtle as the r32 which means moer peole will ignore you ;)

S3 for me. All the R32 by me are driven by dealers....................

is R32 FWD or 4WD?

S3, looks on par if not better than the R32 imo, holds it value better, and its 1 chip away from 300bhp to keep you entertained.

4wd. :DD:

r32 4 me

ah good... in that case R32 probably worth the odds just for the noise it makes :D

:king:

Can anyone confirm they use the same Quattro system?

Benni. :)

A3 all day long

As far as i am aware, no. The Haldex 4x4 system in VW's is very good though. If you get a controller you can adjust the gearbox. 100% of the power to the rear or front, or whatever torque split you want, very impressive! :)

Benni, i "think" the Audi is a full time 4wd system, and the R32 is the hadlex system, whereby its 2wd most of the time and 4wd when it needs to be.

Dont know about the S3 but on the r32 you can take out a fuse and drive it front wheel drive (not that you would want to though)! Theres loads of videos on you tube showing them on the dyno just driving their front wheels

Yeah thats the same on all the VW's with 4x4 i think.

I have seen a few on the dyno like that, cool stuff! :)

S3. I prefer the 1st shape of both

r32 for me i think :thumbup:

That would be useful for a top speed run I guess? So there not the same system then. Part of me thinks an S line with the S3 kit would be the best of both worlds. haha.
