You'll no doubt have fun I'm sure of it. Oh man my previous car was a Polo GTi and that was a little gunner... had more fun on that then current mk6 Golf

At $46k a GTI makes a lot of sense; at $56k an R makes sense. Horses for courses, err budgets.
This in it's simplest form is absolutely correct. Then if you factor in the second hand option the 40th could fit in. I wonder what the loss would be the second you drive it out the dealership. Spoke to a guy on the weekend who paid $63k for his R and he reckons he'd get low $50s for it now...
