you should reconsider and get the new fn2 mugen its quicker and better than the old fn2s plus the GTI's got nothing on the ep3.. r32 is way to heavy for a hatch back..

mugen fn2? doubt we get it but since its only for the uk and jap? ive seen a mugen fn in japan and it looks pretty good. thoughts on the golf r ? 55k w/o on road costs and all should be in the 40s in a years time I hope. Only other cars would be x mr, sti which i would keep longer since its more pratical all rounder car.

stock gti is nothing compared to a ep3 with just a chip and exhaust you will be surprised what it can do.

At the moment new is 60K, the R will still be around 45-50K mark in a years time.

stock GTI manual maybe nothing to an EP3. stock GTI in DSG might be pretty even in standing start (LC FTW). and i absolutely agree with chip + exhaust.

like a EP3R - a gti is a great daily car.But throw the money into the chip + exhaust route and you will start spending big on failing gearbox , drivetrain etc.

btw your gf keeps her EP3 and you get a gti ? nice nice

manual has no problem. DSG should handle an IHE + reflash (aka stage 2) without drama. any more (eg bigger turbo, injectors etc etc) then it becomes unknown but a few DSG cars in the state with high mods seems to be fine.

Wouldn't go for DSG anyway! Take the fun out especially with such a nice gearbox in the GTI.
