If you like the new Gti you would love the new R!!
It would give a few scoobys a run.

although im not sure i agree with him on some points, he says that due to the All Time AWD system on the subaru, its sporty on the limit but harder to live with day to day? personally ive never had a problem with the subaru AWD when driving around the city???
seen many tests of ''adaptive'' AWD vs All Time AWD and with the all time the wheels never slip so they dont have the initial stuck in the mud sensation. All time wins those tests every time by a long shot.
he picks the golf because its easier to live with day to day and just as capable when performance is called for, i dunno bout everyone else, but i dont quite understand how its easier to live with? or how he can decide this from a one day test, apart from going by the fact that the golf is a little tamer down low.
