£1.5k is what you’d have to pay me to drive a mk5 R32.
I had one back in the day. The motor has zero character and isn’t at all interested in being revved, it floated and bobbed about yet the ride was somehow crashy and loose and the steering was mad vague. And it wasn’t even that fast. It was just a wet lump of a thing compared to the 330 I swapped it for.
I reckon 250bhp NA sixes in big cars don’t feel quick enough to justify the running costs now EVs, diesels and turbo petrols have so much punch.
