VRVIRGIN 0 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 New R32 is nice in certain colours, but really think they bodged this one up really. MK4 deffinately more better looking. Top of the range motor should deffinately look better than the second from top in my opinion. MK5 GTi better looking than the R32 in this case. (Except the rear). Link to post Share on other sites

antera309 3 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I saw a new Mk5 R32 at Ultimate Dubs and I must admit it's starting to grow on me. The only bit I really don't like is the wheels - the Mk4 R32 ones are a lot nicer Overall, I still think the Mk4 R32 is nicer looking though. It looks much more aggressive.

Slim 0 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Mk5 without a doubt, far more classy and refined. Link to post Share on other sites
Ickyketseddie 89 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Mk4 for me.. prefer the Mk5 GTI to the R32.. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Mk 5 is growing on me. Same as Antera I saw one at UD and had a good look round and liked it alot. But Mk4 is more within my budget now....if i had the money that is Link to post Share on other sites
richievr 1 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 as said above the new r32 is much better in some colours than others - silver is the best by miles . . . . .but i much prefer the old r32 shape - much more aggressive also as said above the gti front is sooooooo much better than the r32 front see pics - Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Diven the MK5 GTI and MK5 R32 both great cars in their own ways. R32 drives and pulls like its on rails right from 2,000rpm.Still prefer the MK4 R32 (god have I just said I like the MK4??!!) It's the only MK4 I have ever liked the look of.

goonersteve 0 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I don't think there is any contest.....I would have the MK4 every time.The MK5 looks like all the other new cars nowadays, far to 'nice' looking, if you know what i mean? Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Mk4 for me to.... :-)I really don't like the Mk5 shape atall. I think it is all to round at the front. Kinda looks pointy as apposed to being wide and mean.But then I never used to like the MK4 but now I do so I guess in 3 years time I will be liking it a bit more :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Mk4 for me - looks meaner, to me the Mk4 R32 looked purposeful & powerful - the Mk5 does look nice but i prefer the Mk4 at the mo Link to post Share on other sites
vr6madmike 0 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 mk4 defo dont like any of the mk5s and just think of the money you could save on having a mk 4 r32 over a mk5 be enough for some tweaks ( supercharger!) Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Mk4 for me , looks wider and meaner Link to post Share on other sites

antera309 3 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 The biggest problem with the new R32 is the price. £25k is a lot.For £28k you can buy a second-hand Audi RS4. Or a 996. Link to post Share on other sites

matth76 1 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I agree with the above... the mark 5 GTI front is far more sporty than the r32 without being over the top. To me the mark5 r32 front grill is not much different to a regular mark5. I know it is designed to be subtle but I can't understand why they would make it more subtle than a gti which is less of a performance car (albeit slightly less).Anyway thats my personal opinion... basically I prefer the mark4 as it is more agressive and looks the part. However the R32 mark 5 is still an impressive car (much more so under the bonnet than the mark 4) but not possibly how I'd have designed the looks. The R32 is supposed to be a hot hatch. I don't think the mark 5 has it for me. The mark 4 will be a classic I reckon... plus it was the first of the R32 breed. Although the mark3 vr6 was the first to get a V6 in such a small space... maybe ours will be a classic !amazed If I had the money I'd go for a £9k twin turbo HGP conversion ...450-500bhp and four wheel drive on a mark4 R32... can't get much better than that!
