Jumping on the bandwagon, my Son had a Lupo Gti, then a MkIV R32 Manual in DBP, R32 forums always reckoned DBP was the fastest colour.
He added a few items, took it to Santa Pod, that car was seriously quick.
So I bought a Mk V R32 DSG in Black, this car was much smoother and probably more civilised than my sons car. Much more me.
They are very sure footed cars, 4 motion drivetrain, engine is amazing, considering it's a narrow angle V6 the sound is sublime, we got around 20 mpg.
Interiors weren't bad either. It was a sad day when they stopped making them (2008 from recollection), the Golf R may have been quicker and more environmentally friendly, but it lacks the 6 pot.
I parted company with mine as a result of getting hit from behind, other driver was to blame, the car just didn't feel right after that, as sale I regretted. I tried to get an end of run car but specs didn't match my wish list.
I'm over it now, as the Z4 35i motor is lush and also has a fantastic exhaust soundtrack.
