Safes perfect Ken.... how do you find them to hold up in the fleet I ve been told they can be heavy on brakes, rotors and tyres, but suppose that comes down to driver habits..

R32 blows the gti away every time however the perfect balanced car is a BMW123d msport coupe it really takes some beating. The only thing the GTi is good for is lift off oversteer
Oh re brakes both of ours have had the brakes upgraded as they are tuition cars prior to chaps going out in the LP560 / F430 |

We did try the BMW's 123,130 and Audi A3 s3 just found them way to small front and back to be a every day car and if the wife got BMW and I ever got caught driving it, it would be like openly admitting to the world my pen is small and I ve excepted it, at this point in time I am still in denial
 Ken would you recommend the brake upgrade for the road or is it just over kill... |

Its a fantastic car had one myself you cant beat the sound of the v6 " there is no replacement for displacment" and if you need the power I fitted a turbo onto mine 418 bhp |

Not being a party pooper, but surely if the A3 was too small the Golf will have the same problem as they're both based on the same floor plan (albeit an 'updated' version for the Golf). |

I'm guessing your 'fleet' isn't for delivery! One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |

Just another thought - you say you don't want anything over a year old - is the R32 available that new? I didn't think VW made an R32 with the re-vamp, and recently released the Golf 'R' (2.0ltr turbo??) Mark
