But Capping at band K is meaningless if they just increase the cost of band K

Ya joking, R32's sound epic. Loved the sound of mine.

I prefer the look of the 5 door too.

2003 not ithat tax band as they are capped on earlier years, so not a problem.
stage 2 vf charger is 350bhp, that with miltek downpipes, schrick cams and custom map might start to get near the figure quoted though i'd say 370 maybe a bit more unless i saw a dyno plot.
most people are starting to use rotrex based kits as a few people have had problems with the oil seals on the vf's and the rotrexs seem to be delivering more power. though with rotrexs you need to use a compression spacer plate or lower comp pistons.
i have 3 dr version of above car, same colour and same interior, few people think its the cheaper interior, i disagree as middle is alcantara.
3 drs are more sought after, and £10k is a lot of money, but if car is mint and runs well then hard to put price on it. i'd personally look at other cars at that price.
best bet is to test drive and decide, but i would also drive a std one to compare, as std cars are about £6k now.
as for sound, a r32 with decatted miltek exhaust wins hands down in my view, unless you have some anti lag and big boost scooby.

Trouble with the newer S3 is it looks so bland. The old one is pretty subtle but at least that one got wider arches to give it a better stance. The newer S3 could be any of the line up until you see the badge, especially as Audi do like producing a nice S-line look to their lesser models.

I agree, the MK11 was the last golf that looked better in 2 doors,
People want to think the later models look better in 2 doors, but when you put the "boy racer" goggles down, you see that 5 doors complements the shape better than 2 doors on all golf since the MK11

I agree 3 door mk4 r32 looks far better than 5 door. Even vag also agreed that 3 is better than 5, you dont get any anniversary models in 5 door.
I nearly bought an r32 before my hawk, engine note is best soundtrack ever but i just couldnt find any fun in the car, a supercharged one might tick that box. Tho the mk4 r32 engines have a weak spot with timing chain tensioner & chain. But this can be checked via vagcom which id advise before entertaining the idea of one
