I really liked the Mk5 Gti. The R32 I drove felt slow and wooden in comparison. But yes, maybe mine was a duffer.

Still think the MkIV R32 I had was the best car I ever owned

R32 has a very linear set of power/torque curves I think so just feels kind of flat. You get folk giving similar feedback on few motorbikes (triumph triples) saying they just feel lifeless, when in reality you actually really want a smooth predictable engine that doesn't have any giant cliff like jumps in power/torque, keeps you from being ended.

Sounds like the worst Mk5 ever, usually they are great to drive. Most of the Mk5 golf have rusted away now, the mk4's have outlasted their younger siblings which is kind of hilarious. Mk6 I don't think are much of a difference to a mk5 except they don't rust out in a dozen places
