Trade in my GTI for an R32?

That hurts.

Cruel to be kind, enjoy your GTI and save for the R.

Or stay with the GTI. GTI's are a impressive car in themselves. If your looking at a R32, maybe have a look at a R36 passat?

I can understand why you would want to get a r32, I was after on when getting my gti. However, other than the amazing sound of the v6, I don't think a trade down on one is a good idea. You will get an older model with less features, and the interior would be a big step down over a mk6gti also.
But it's ultimately up to u, not what others think.

yeah, as someone said, old haldex/AWD systems can be brutal.... also, why don't you just chip your GTI ? get a bit more punch out of it for not too much $$$

no.

i think that's 6-0 so far for no.

I too toyed with the idea of an R32. Like everyone the big draw is the sound of the exhaust! Ooh haven't heard anything so sexy since.

Drawbacks are dated interior. It is a step backward from mk6. The car would be very thirsty and supposedly the older Haldex was too slow to react in shuffling torque rearwards.

Since I can't see myself realistically buying one, particularly at those unrealistic prices, I couldn't tell someone to do any different to what I decided.
