Does someone grin there of the BMW-troop? Gloating commentaries over supposed fleeced-optics and sedierenden all wheel drive plus Frontlastigkeit would be allowed to stick remain the Bajuwaren-Fanclub in the neck. Already in the getting into, the R32 with its loving jazzed up Interieur and clean processing takes in for itself. Whether metallically shining Dekoleisten, attractive round instruments with blue pointers or trittsichere metal pedal - against this form into a ball load sport-Appeal, that causes impersonally formed 130i already badly pragmatic.

By means of a yard long up price list, also the 130i lets on R32-Augenhöhe or in addition equip itself. Next to sport load work, active control and M optics package excellent sport seats, whose inflatable cheeks of also corpulenter pilot offer firm stop without pressure place, are found among other things. He who ogles in the gulf instead of the sport seat standard with it with the rennmäßigen Recaro-scarves, should previously per possession. The one praise its sucking adaptability, others they are simply bare too narrow.

The side stop makes sense nevertheless, at the latest if the golf lets the club out of the sack. About in the Fahrdynamik-Parcours. Whether Slalom, fronds avoided or, the golf is always and everywhere faster. In spite of 139 kilograms of superiority. Even in the free going on the race track with turned off stability program, the BMW cannot pass.

In the daily life, other things count meanwhile - like an allürenfreies being. Whether controls, coupling or brake: the person-machine-interfaces of both candidates leichtgängig and precise, the motors sound appear darkly and promise full. Solely the controls disappoint a few: cartilaginous in the BMW, hakelig in the VW.

The BMW wins the Antriebswertung.

With its class-motor, the BMW goes nevertheless in leadership: the three liter constructs not only easily and stably, but rather possesses also another smart head. Therein a vollvariabler valve drive, that stick had both that and drives the opening times, as well as a step loose camshafts adjustment. Behind out cushioning push and enormous trick joy comes next to genuine snarling Reihensechser-Sound until 7.000/min. 15-Grad-V6 large the 3.2 liter in the VW does not cause very so lively and agil. The R32 spices its sprinkling metallic offensively wummernden reason sound for that with rotzfrech - and pulls in the speed-readings same.

Nevertheless it shows the 130i on kurvigen streets the stern. Higher Griplevel, grace loose Traktion and quieter Handling make even less Routinierte to competent fast drivers. The BMW causes a breath agiler, almost nervously. Its control is especially on bad surfaces communicativeer than necessary, what provides at times for easy unrest. For that the 130i absorbs short unevenness willingly, during the VW in low speed something steifbeiniger drüberstolpert. In higher speed and long waves, both lie again gleichauf. Langgezogene bend takes the VW in a train without sweat wet palms, the BMW demands more concentration and easy corrections.

Altogether the 130i proves balanced out gives therewith to be an agiler athlete for lover of the stern drive, during the R32 that load neutralizing Allrounder with bite. And who partout at the puffed up optics disturbs itself, can it in VW Individual to the need also with the shy optics of a gulf 1.4 orders - price on inquiry.

The Golf R32 is an awesome little car - and it looks great too - a big :usa7uh: to VW
 
Wow i gotta say.. i like the looks of the 3er.. but look at that Golf.. it looks so much nicer in that pic.. more expensive.. and it looks faster..
First time i can say that a BMW looks less agressive than the competition..
 
The Golf looks much better than the 1-Series, which I can't stand. The only thing I love about the 1-Series? The INTERIOR! Very nicely styled. :usa7uh:
 
1 series is nice. My only objection is the front lights which look lind of "sleepy". VW Golf on the other hand looks like a Golf. A unique shape from many angles that will last for many more years like the previous generations.
 
Although the Golf might be a better car I would go for the 130i since it's isn't as common as and has a more premium interior. On top of that you would always have to explain yourself when you tell people that your VW isn't the average Golf 1.6 people see ont he roads. :cool:

I agree that 1 series is not common and that makes it more exclussive but Golf has the advantage of being a better everyday car with more spaces inside and in the trunk plus AWD.

The car looks really kick ass. I'd go with the golf too!:usa7uh:
 
It's a shame 130i didnt have the sportpackage in this test. It would certainly improve the handling and the look.

This is the right colour for the baby bimmer IMO

It would damage the ride quality further, though, which has never been the 1er's good point even on standard wheel sizes. I guess it depends if that's important to you as a buyer of a performance car; but even those people have limits.

It certainly does a lot for the looks though. :emthup:

Well, then you might have to explain to people that your 130i isn't the average 116i that you see on the roads :2cool:
 
Dont like that sport package.. looks wierd.. and that goes for the 3er to.. the sports pack ruins the whole 3er.. so ile wait for the M package.. wich should be awesomme.. as always:D

According to BMW 8/10 130i's are sold with sportpackage. Its obvious what buyers of 130i is looking for. If you want to buy a car like this you want performance and handling so of course a sportpackage is the right way to choose. If you dont want it, then buy a 3er or something.
 
Maybe they thought they could live with it, but may find later that they don't like it. Or they bought it just for the looks, and must try hard to cope with the harsh ride.

I'm just guessing; throwing out ideas as to why it's not necessarily the case that 130i Sportpackage buyers want the handling; but it could well be the case. Just want to point out that we don't know their intentions for certain.

I never thought I would say this to you but now it sounds like excuses :)

see link Link!!

J/k with you snake :D
 
That's ok Just_me - "I didn't get enough sleep the night before." :D

Now I'll stop arguing with you, in case you drag me down to your level and beat me with experience. :D j/k!

PS. But on a slightly more serious note, I did say that it could be the case that those people bought the Sportpackage because they wanted the performance. It's just that in my experience, most buyers of cars aren't that in-tune with differences in performance; yes, even BMW buyers; and just want either the looks, or the 'idea' that they've got the performance. :emthup: I dare say that would go for many Porsche and Ferrari and other performance car buyers as well.
 
Well how many consumers are enthusiast (like us) who go to the track. To me more people should be car oriented considering they put a huge chunk of their income into purchasing one. I like R32 because its all wheel drive. I know a kid who has one.
 
I really wouldn't know which one is more fun to drive, but if I wanted to have some real fun, I'd go for the 130i, can't beat rear wheel drive and an awesome, lightweight, straight six. For anyone who's driven a new BM equipped w/ the 3.0 straight six, you know what I'm talking about, it sounds great too!
