what are all you women bitching about. the golf r is good very good, but ... you need to get a bmw 335d x drive. what a machine. nice endless torque.

I'm not a Fan of VW but if you are looking for a fast hot hatch with AWD and DSG you could also get a BMW M140 or Mercedes A45 but both are clearly more expensive
And S3 is the same. With the facelift they modified the AWD setup. S3 did 1.15.1 Hockenheim short acording to AMS. not bad... Golf R should be about the same.

Still its a shitty car that gets beaten by a half as expensive honda. Something for people without taste.
