It's a funny one this but i've just been reading up on the Golf R20T which will be released and it sounds very impressive on paper. I'm sure you're all familiar with it.
Seems a bit of a funny move by VAG to be honest because they usually avoid too much cross over between Golf and A3 ranges (see the number of current Golf vs A3 threads!) but it is basically an S3. I understand it'll have 4WD (not confirmed) and 270 bhp.
Again yes we know the interior in the Golf won't be as good but i think it's safe to say it'll be cheaper and lighter than the S3 and i will bet my house that it's a better drivers car in every sense.
I personally won't be having another 'hot hatch' style car but just out of interest, if both were available right now.... How many of you S3 boys would save a couple of quid and have an R20T?
No reason for this thread other than curiosity because a lot of people in the other current threads say they'd take a GTI over an A3 2.0T. Will the R20T have the same effect?
In every cloud though.... Hopefully this 'should' result in a 300+bhp RS3 to even things out. Who knows!
