Alright guys, this is just an opinion thread. I have not driven a MKV R32 but I have driven a couple MKIV's... silver and that blue color. I loved them both, though not balls out straight line fast and I can see my self wishing it had more ooomph, I really liked the car... the seats, the guages... the exhaust note OMG. I remember driving the MKIV, and noticing that with speed shifting... it was almost like it couldn't keep up with it self and there was maybe a half second delay in the gear change... Hard to explain but I would rifle through the gears and it almost took a sec for the car to know I switched the gear... It'd almost clunk from shifting too fast. Like something was hitting after the change of gears? Am I making sense? Or was there something wrong with this car ya think? Anyways that is what I hated about the MKIV.
Any pros and cons between the two because I am seriously considering getting an MKV because of the price drops... or maybe a used one in a year or two. Thanks for the help. I'd also like some commentary on how well these motors hold up, transmissions, diffs, clutches etc etc... I fear VW because of breaking something. My SRT trans could handle damn near anything without a hickup, same with the 2.4L powerplant, the clutch was strong too. But I want something better now and I think I may get bored with the rental car EVO interior and amenities.
