ah, Wondered if you meant nissan for a moment.

I wouldn't bother, 1.5 tons, 4wd only helps when launching, understeer everywhere else like an audi, shocking fuel economy.

its a golf as well Meh

How much more servicing/unreliability does a s/c setup bring to a 6?

6k is well enough to buy a 6 and turbo it and i would guess that it would be faster than both the sc and r32.

If you buy an R32 for £5-6k, it'll still be worth a large proportion of that to some VW fanboi in a few years.

If you spend £5-6k on a supercharged Gti, it'll be worth 3 pence when you sell.

Easy choice if it was my money: neither.

R32s arent what you may expect them to be though. They are surprisingly numb and dull :/
Obviously very quick and huge grip etc but a bit all power weight and f**k all else tbh.
Imo the newest ones look s**t too. Chrome grill is mank

Dont consider something like a m3 without looking into it. The running costs can be a bit epic hence why im keeping the 6 for a long while otherwise i would likely have one
