A month ago I placed an order for a Golf R DSG 5 door for around $55k after corporate discount. The car will arrive sometime in January 2012. I've placed $1000 deposit at a dealer.

Ever since then I have been thinking if I had made the right choice. I know the R is a fantastic car but in the real world, I wouldn't be able to make use of its full potential. Yes, I might go to a track once or twice a year but that's about it. On public roads, I can't race.

That made me re-think. Is Passat CC V6 a better car for me? It's a pretty big car. I've seen it before. It's very nice. Very sexy. It can do 0-100 in 5.6sec. Same time as a Golf R. It's got everything. Leather seats, Park assist, big wheels, ACC, etc.

I would like to hear especially from those who owned these 2 cars. Did you regret buying the Golf R and then ended up buying a CC?

Thanks
