My brother in law has one and I was very impressed. Point the front wheels where you want to go and floor it! He's a skilled driver and did a good job of scaring the shit outta me!

Down here, they can't give away VWs due to stigma of DieselGate!

More discounts for those willing to look past that. It's still hard to find an R if you want specific options and colors though, due to their limited production, so resale value on these probably won't be hurt much by DieselGate.

EXCELLENT E.T., but I was never impressed with 0-60mph times, because its all about traction and not power. Its and accomplishment to put 100% of the power down, but I'm not into this. I bet it handles on rails to. Great car overall of course.

The report is NOT showing 0-60 mph times like you indicate. It is showing the time from start line to 60' down the track. Quite a difference. Not sure you could find any car that goes 0-60mph in less than 2 seconds.

Anyway, I didn't buy this car for all-out performance or to replace my Camaro. I bought it because it's a perfect (for me) Jack of all trades--economy, practicality, performance. 'Sure beats the boring "beater" it DID replace; LOL...

I've been following the Golf R since the new model came out a few years ago. Now the Focus RS has captivated me a bit more, almost the same car with even more umph. I haven't sat in either, so it's likely the Golf has a better interior and features. But for hot hatch performance, the Focus is the new king.

The thing about the Focus RS that most don't like, the interior is the same... Focus RS on down to base Focus... they should have upgraded the RS interior a bit.

I'd still take a WRX STi over any of the choices so far.

To each their own. The only thing I like about the STI is its better AWD system. What I don't like about the STI: Boy-racer exterior, drab interior, no torque (have to do a clutch drop at high RPMs for a decent launch), no more hatchback option.

The new Focus RS with 350hp runs a 13.4 according to C&D. I don't see the Golf R being close to that with 292hp. The fastest I saw was a 14.0. Still though, they are cool little cars. Congrats!

14.0? LOL. You're thinking of the GTI. Many tests have proven an automatic R doing 4.5-second 0-60s and low-13s in the 1/4.
