Mk5 r32Hi, i currently hav a mk4 silver r32 and am goin to be selling next month. My thoughts for a next car were between mk5 r32, e46 m3 and hawkeye subaru sti, so went lookin round garages this wkend and had a seat in them, didn't get to test drive any tho. After seeing them all i hav def decided to update to a newer R. I was fancying gettin 1 with dsg box, is it better than the manual 1? Also 1 more queston, my mk4 has got non res milltek with milltek cats, and love the sound as it comes out with pops a fair bit. Would a mk5 pop with a milltek non res 2?
Cheers, Ross

Ross I would answer yes to all your questions. Just be aware the non res on the MKv is a lot louder than on the mkiv. DSG is great and really makes the car special, and you get the pops too when it blips the throttle for you
Good choices

i actually decided to go the other way. Ive just sold my mk5 and had planned to get a mk4 .:r and a diesel daily driver. I got a test drive and the driving experience in a mk4 is completely different to a mk5, when i got back into my mk5 it felt watered down and comfort engineered. Just my opinion
Each to their own so only a test drive will tell you. Presonally at the mo, the call of the e46 m3 has reappeared its ugly head and i fear it may be an itch that needs scratched. I will be back in an .:r at some stage, but i recon it'll be a mk4

I was pretty dissapointed with the Milltek on my MK5 when compared with the Milltek on my MK4.
So much so i went back to stock!
Mk5's way better out of the box, However mK4's way better when Milltek'd !
Non res on the Mk5 was stupidly too loud for me, Horrid on the motorway and got attention for the wrong reasons!

non-res on a mk5 is nuts
if you can't handle it, you should probably be driving a range rover :P j/k!!

i have a res miltek and it loud enough.. quiet when you want it to be and will cn turn a few heads when you put the foot down!!!
