How different are they under the skin i.e mechanically, chassis-wise, suspension, brakes etc. Or are they pretty much the same, just a different body and badge. Anyone driven or owned both?
 
Yeah id like the same information as i have a A3 3.2 and have always wondered whats the difference with the cars.

I have owned an an r32 and currently own a 3.2 a3 engine management is slightly different on a mk5 golf but not anything mechanically different apart from r32s hold money better.
 
My mates R32 is standard and it sounds a bit meaner than the A3 due to the slight diffrence in the mapping.
 
I think the suspension is different on my 3.2 to an r32 but same brakes, chassis, exhaust (except position of tail pipes) better interior in my opinion and people dont look at you like you sell drugs to kids
 
It is a fact that 9 out of 10 R32 owners sell drugs to kids.
