You could, but all of those are lies and outright exaggerations of what a shit car like the Golf is capable of. I mean, do you really want to go down this route? I would drive a Prius before I ever step foot in a VW product..including Audi. Poser cars.

For the price of the BMW you can get a Golf R that will make your car look like a Camry Last edited by fcman; 09-18-2015 at 04:58 PM.. |

Having driven audi products for 10+ years before getting my first BMW....they are GOOD cars, but not exactly dynamic to drive. People modify them extensively to try to make them dynamic but they aren't engineered as such. That being said...the GTI is probably the best VW or Audi product around. It won't be as enjoyable as a RWD car....but it's like a halfway point between horribly boring FWD cars like a Camry and enjoyable RWD cars like a 1er. |

The GTI, and pretty much all of VW's line up aren't a value in any sense of the word. Most power? No. Best handling? No. Best quality? No. Best reliability? No. Best compromise? No. They do NOTHING better than similar cars in the price range, they honestly don't make a compelling case at all. I'd go as far to say people who buy VWs are just aren't either a. educated (not in an academic sense) or b. just not true enthusiast. These people are the same ones who created this tread afterall: You're buying a FWD economy car for almost 30K and it's still a turd, it's still a half-baked under-engineered shitbox 'designed' by VWs incompetent engineering team, not to mention for that money there are VASTLY better cars. And now watch as people flood here to defend these turds "it's got nice soft touch plastics in the interior" |

No it's not. Sorry you haven't heard of the 225/235. I'm not even a BMW fan, and I can tell you that the Golf R is a POS in comparison to most cars, much less a BMW 320i

The 320i...and the 3-series in general these days is a total joke. Have you driven an F3X generation 3-series? It's no better to drive than a Camry....really. I was equally as unimpressed with the 2-series that i have driven.....soft and wallowy you can dislike VWs all you want...i kind of do too...but you're stepping into odd territory comparing a mundane applicance like a 320i to a decent performance car like a Golf R. |

My bet is on the latter, but I'd be really pleased to see the former. |
