An R32 is a heavy, FWD-based, understeering, pig of a Rabbit. It doesn't even come with a stick-shift anymore and it's shaped like an egg. The AWD system is a torque biased system which makes it feel like a FWD when pushed. Plus, it's ridiculously over-priced. The last gen R32 at least had a stick shift, but it was still a pig.

Does that help? The last GTis were fun, but still, c'mon. I stopped looking at GTis when I realized a Quattro A4 was the same price used. But whatever you chose, they're all fun cars.
