2015 Mustang GT vs 2016 Golf R Discussion Thread

[XGC75]

Personally, I'd have to test drive each. The R is front-biased awd, but Halidex v4 should help with that (don't know how much). The Mustang is feels huge and heavy like a boat, but IRS and double-balljoint tie-rod ends should help that (again, don't know how much).

I'd lean towards the R simply because it's a hatch and lightweight. I prefer smaller cars.

Just one...PLEASEEEEE! lol[/QUOTE

I'm not sure how to post a pic.

It may take a little trial and error.

then if your replacing your daily, golf r. replacing the s2k....mustang

Agreed.

Also on timing. Golf R is a year away. Mustang later this year.

Also, a lot can happen between now and then.

Since you drive a S2k and live in Texas, get the Mustang.

OP clearly says what would YOU drive

I'd get the mustang. I already have an R

Wow man super clean s2k, I almost bought a 03 a few years back when I had my mkv. It was clean title 44k original miles and he wanted 11k I was so ready to buy it, got sold the day I went to sell my car. Anyways, keep the s2k! Or sell it to me... whatevs. I'm dying to drive the piss out of one of those little monsters.

The R simply for its practicality -- it does everything well.

It wouldn't make sense for me to sell it now. I couldn't really get much for it and there's not anything I can replace it with that would be better for the money. Maybe it'll be a classic.

Whichever one doesn't have round HVAC vents.

I'd trade your GTI in for a MK7.

True that man. Great car. Drive it till it can't be driven anymore. That is the only real Honda performance car worth owning.
