You will have problems geting a R32 for less than 20k.

Only 1500 made for the UK - they are holding there value really well... I have been offered £500 less than what I paid for the car a year ago.

The Mk5 is likely to be a R36 and is over a year away....

TBH they are Big Fat cars, for people that like to go slow in style - lol...

they are lovely cars although a diet wouldnt go a miss. golfs have lost there way a bit, the mk1 and 2 was all about lightness and speed. i wonder what the mpg figures are for this big fat bastidd of a golf ??

I agree, they look awesome, but the performance isnt exactly breath taking compared to what it could be if it shed a few pounds... especially considering that in that price bracket theres some seriously mean competitors out there!

What seriously mean competitors are out there at £22.5k?????

I would love to know?

MPG figures work out about - 24-26mpg.

The Mk5 R32 looks quite well. Twin center exit exhausts etc, subtle styling.. Looks cool :grinning:

I thought it was around the £26k mark, but even if not around that price range you could have:

Subaru Impreza 2.0 WRX - £24k - 0/60 in 5.2secs
Mitsubishi Evo 260 - £23k - 0/60 in 6.1secs
Audi A3 3.2 V6 Quattro Sport - £24k - 0/60 in 6.5secs
Alfa Romeo 147 3.2 V6 GTA - £22k - 0/60 in 6.1secs
Honda S2000 2.0 - £26k - 0/60 in 5.6secs
Lotus Elise 1.8 - £22k - 0/60 5.6secs
Mini Cooper S Works - £18k - 0/60 in 6.7secs
MG TF 1.8 - £20k - 0/60 in 6.9secs
Nissan 350Z V6 - £24k - 0/60 in 6.9secs
Renault Clio V6 255 - £26k - 0/60 in 5.8secs
Renault Megane 2.0 RenaultSport - £20k - 0/60 in 6.5secs
Vauxhall VX220 2.0 Turbo - £26k - 0/60 in 4.7secs
And my particular favourite - Caterham Super7 Superlight R300 - £22k - 0/60 in 4.7secs

I know those cars arent all in the same class, but if your spending that type of money then theres a few to consider and I do think the above would be classed as competitors. But thats just my personal opinion.
