Have to test driven these?

I kept GTI MK5 for over two years excellent car and very reliable even in this heat, have driven Focus ST few times as well its better then GTI but more inline with Sti for not being a DD.

Do you guys have VW R32 over there that is yummy

Test drove a few last year before buying the Z. I tested the GTI, MS3, WRX, and a few others.

Ford hasn't released a Focus ST yet in the states. It's supposed to come out next year.

We had a VW R32 several years back, but I'm looking for a new car, and VW is supposed to put out a Golf R soon, which is AWD and should be better than the R32 (lighter I4 that's more powerful than the V6).

We had R32 till 2010 here and now R is there but R is expensive then a Sti but it's not AWD like the previous one but more of a moddufied GTi

interesting!

The rumors I heard were that the R was going to be AWD. In any case, it may be too expensive to considered. If it's more expensive than a WRX STI, then yeah, it's priced itself out of the market.

Its is AWD but there is something different then the previous one, more electronic thing which can let you move the power fromt front to rear etc. It is a mean machine for sure around 275bhp

for pricing

GTI over here is 32000$
Sti is 43000$
WRX is 33000$

and Z is wooping 50000$
