I drove a 2004 R32 (bought new) for 9 years & 134k miles. It was a great car, with very few problems.
My current daily driver is a 2013 Golf R 5-door with manual transmission (leased new). It has 36k miles on it & I have only had 1 very minor warranty repair (right side folding rear seat had to be realigned). While it is not the new model, my experience has been extremely positive. It is a blast to drive, & with winter tires it is fantastic in the snow. My only complaint: I hate the Soundakator.
You can look at the car 2 ways: It is a crazy-expensive Golf or it's a lot of performance for the $ (my preferred perspective). It's much more refined than a WRX, & you can't get an S3 with a manual transmission. I do not want FWD - AWD is important to me because of our weather & my commute.
The lease is up in July & I will seriously consider getting a new one, although I am leaning toward a BMW M235i.
