Why not have both....I do!
And the R32 is a different creature than a modified Passat.
They handle quite different. My old Passat had way less body roll, but that is with a lot of suspension tweaks.
If I were to but coils on the R32, I don't think much would shake it.
Than again, I have tested it on a course, so judgement is still out.
They are totally different cars, but the fit and finish is equal.
And the R32s note, is far nicer and meaner than my 2.5 cat back exhaust on my old Passat. The Passat grabbed more in the higher revs while the R32 is all low end.
It is hard to compare two cars that are very different. Don't compare a S4 to A8.
