Definitely agree with Tony and Bart. When I was shopping for a replacement car earlier this year an R32 was available at the local VW dealership. The car was fast,  faster than the V8, or the Allroad that I ultimately bought. The downside to the R32 was that it had less room than the Allroad and it was a manual. We wanted a car that the my wife would be comfortable driving and she says that she was tired of playing with manual transmissions. The other downside was that the R32 was considerably more than the Allroad even though it was the same year and almost the same mileage as the Allroad.

One of the guys next to the place I work at has an R32, an Allroad, and an S2000. The R32 is the daily driver, the Allroad is for the extended trips and family hauling and the S2000 sits in the garage most of the time. He says that the R32 is one of the best all around cars he has owned. It's fast, pretty comfortable, handles very well in both dry and wet weather and did I say it's fast. :-)
