They’re both UGLY. That style doesn’t do well in North America. BMW doesn’t even offer the ugly 5 door over here. The Golf is available.

it’s not the design so much as the type of car. The 5 door boxy look isn’t popular here. I love the coupe & convertible. The 5 door is just UGLY.

Well you drive those 4 door shoe boxes. BMW can send a 335i convertible over here for me. We used to have them too. They didn’t sell, because they were ugly and anyone needing that utility buys something larger. We pay about 1/3 what you do for fuel over here, so we don’t drive diesels or shoe boxes. We DO like BMW & VW for their quality & performance. It’s a different market, get over it.

I’m sorry sir boom, but if you were actually looking to BUY one of these cars, fifth gear is much better than top gear. Tiff and the blonde chick (sorry-forgot her name) are actual race drivers. They can actually drive the cars to the limit and tell you what it”ll do there. All fifth gear has is a fattie saying POWER, and a shortie who used to blow up trailers. The Stig can drive, but he doesn’t tell you what it’s like to dive, does he.

imo VW could have squeezed more hp outta the R32. The GTI produces ~200bhp and that’s from a 2.0l straight 4 cylinder. With the added weight of the 3.2 in this one, 250bhp just isn’t quick enough for the price tag.
Just my thoughts

you’re right, but that’s not the reason why we watch top gear so fanatically is it ? It’s the humour that makes it so popular, while fifth gear is a more strict car reviewing programme. I watch top gear to entertain myself, and fifth gear for the knowledge, as i think many others do

Dead on fella. I got my 350z on the good reviews from 5th gear, not the ripping that clarkson gave it (which he had to suck back on when top gear magazine voted it their car of the year in its category) 5th gear for serious reviews. Top Gear for entertainment value!

I think, BMW’s exterior design is much better comparing these two cars.
There are at least two reasons to love Germany: Lufthansa and German cars. Germany, I love you!

I never thought BMW 1 series would be a decent challenger to the Golf… The 3 series on the other hand, always seemed like the challenger for Golf.
