quattro Digest, Vol 5, Issue 103

[Larry C Leung]

Well, aside from the "style" aspect, you get nearly all of the 
performance of a TT 180 HP FWD, in a turbo Golf and 
nearly all of the performance of a TT 3.2 (including at least
this time) quattro (okay, 4-motion/Haldex) in the new 
Golf IV R32. You'd even get a really usable back seat
and a truely useful hatch. Not only that, it's basic floorpan
is the same as the TT. Of course, it won't come with the
nifty cupholders.
