I don't have statistics or any smart stuff like that, But I have known a bunch of people with newer volkswagons and stuff, and I think they are pieces of crap. They run good for a while and are nice and all that but they start falling apart real quick. At least compared to honda's.

We both love the 20AE. It would pull on me in a heart beat, no matter what gear he'd be in. He's never lost to anything that he's goofed around with. I've never raced him in my GSR. I already know the outcome.
I was hoping when I heard it came with Recaro's that they were a little more sportier, but unfortunately they do not resemble the sporty look that the JDM ITR made so popular. They do serve their purpose though and hold me in very securely.
That is correct, the 1.8T 20AE does indeed come with a 6-speed transmission.
I read the differences between the two, one of the things I did notice is that the 337 has BBS alloy wheels with a special finish that cannot be duplicated by a wheel or body ship in the event of damage. The technique used to create the finish (ball bearings I believe) is so unique, the wheel can only be replaced by VW.

I think it also has an independant rear suspension...something they couldn't get finished in time for the 337.

i don't think it does. the R32 does but not the 20th AE.
