RE: VW Golf R: PH Fleet
Discussion
Why is it that every Golf R thread disintegrates into ad-hominem mud-slinging and obscure references to either physical build or company directorships? I certainly don't understand the significance of the latter - does one need to have been on PH since it was a TVR forum back in 2003 to get it?

I think the problem is that if you are an enthusiastic Golf owner you will defend your car to the ends of the earth with no objectivity and reasoning allowed. I've owned Golfs all my life and it is this aspect of them that annoys me most.I won't point you towards a thread currently running on VWROC about a supposed meeting between an R and a BMW 330d. It will annoy you even more.

I think the problem is that if you are an enthusiastic Golf R hater you will attack someone else's car to the ends of the earth with no objectivity or no/little experience of said car.
Now, hopefully between us we can get it going again for the weekend
I wouldn't be surprised if the R dispatched the 330d in a straight line. And yes, it's the sheer defensiveness of Golf owners that hacks me off. On the other hand, I've never met an a
hole with a 147GTA. They know it handles and torque-steers like a pig, the build quality ain't up to much, they're lucky if they see 25mpg, but they don't care, it's got THAT engine and it looks great - and that's all they care about!

I doubt there would be much it in. But I would rather be driving the 330d, at a push.hole with a 147GTA.
