Isn't the mkIV quicker around the ring than the mkV ??

Yup
If you want comfort, don't buy a sports hatch

Yeah we know how that ended don't we.

buy the mk4. its already depreciated and it looks and sounds better. and thats coming from an mk5 owner

The MkIV should hold its' resale better as well due to being a limited edition. In the 8 months I've had mine the average price hasn't dropped at all.

There must have been some serious distance driving involved with that one. Either that or it was a reps car maybe?
I bought mine with with 76000kms on it and am nearly at 89000kms now. I'm trying to keep the kms down so in a few years it should start to match with the ones with lower kms now. The problem is is that she calls to me and makes me go on long, pointless and awesome drives with no destination.

I prefer the look of the mark 4, but lose the wheels and the new one isn't too bad either.

I'll post up the article and some information about the driver of the two cars later. A quick search on here should bring up the article.
I must say the Red 3 door MkV that's at Highway at the moment looks pretty damn sweet. Definitely the best looking MkV R32 now (due to the colour).

When I was at the Brisbane motorshow VW and Audi had the best stands by far in terms of cars (excluding exotica of course). However only the R50, RS4 and R8 really made me think that I'd get rid of my R and get one of them instead (pity about the $ though).
The RNS510 is a big drawcard for new VWs now though (I like toys).
However a new GTI, R32, R36 or TT; I wouldn't trade my R for any of them.

my preference is the MKIV, for me its more of a cult car...

i reckon the interior is so much better than the MKV's, the new ones just look uglier with their dash etc

MK4 ftw!

Its ok to try to keep the value of the car up by keeping the kms down, BUT did you buy your car to keep it in your garage? I bought my car to enjoy it, and i have done 25000km in a year and i didn't have my license for 3 months!

Didn't buy it at all for resale value and the resale doesn't bother me anyway. It's just another tick towards the MkIV.
I still haven't lost a single point (ever) by the way (touch wood).

A note to any MkV owners who have come in here. No one has said that the MkV is a bad/crap/rubbish car. We just prefer the MkIV. Thought I'd add that before anything happens.
