What if the R32 in question was 22k for a car with like 8k miles on it? tbh, I haven't found anything even close to that price that's like it. I've always liked the GTI (and hatches in general), and the AWD is a big plus for me. Plus it's damn hard to find an A3 with Quattro.
I figure that the R32 should be cheaper to insure and better on gas than something like the Magnum SRT8. Definitely not as fast, but should get less attention, and probably similar interior size. Interior quality will be better in the R32, and it's AWD so it'd be harder to lose control of.
It's too bad the A3 didn't come with the 2.0t and Quattro until 09, those are still too expensive
