Well look at this:

Alfa Romeo 147 GTA:

Hatchback
1360 kilos
Engine:In front,6 cylinder in V,4 valves per cylinder,3179 cc,Horsepower:250/6200,Torque:30,6/4800.
Wheels:Front and rear:225/45
0-100Km/h(0-60mph):6,3'', 246Km/h.

Volkswagen Golf R32:

Hatchback
1477 kilos
Engine:In front,6 cylinder in V,4 valves per cylinder,3189 cc,Horsepower:241/6250, Torque:32,6/2800.
Wheels:Front and rear:225/40
0-100Km/h(0-60mph):6,6'', 247Km/h.


Make your opinions.That was a good compare and we can't compare them too far except if we have them in the road.

I am unfamilair with Alfa Romeo's. As far as I do know, they are excellent cars. I knwo ALOT more about VW's and have an affinity towards them. Both cars seem to be very closely matched, so what it's going to come down to is price, value, quality, fuel economy, availability, ect. Also, given similar powerplants, there needs to be a comparison of the 0-60 mph times. This will give a good idea of how good the respective transmissions are. Speaking of transmissions, the only ofther thing I'm worried about is the gear box themselves. How well they are put together and such. Any links for the Alfa car would be appreciated.

I don't know if you can understand that but this is for the transmission.The gears:

Alfa Romeo 147 GTA: 1st:3,5:1,2nd:2,235:1,3rd:1,52:1,4th:1,1 56:1,5th:0,971:1,6th:0,818:1.

Volkswagen Golf R32:
1st:3,46:1,2nd:1,94:1,3rd:1,37:1,4th:1,0 3:1,5th:0,85:1...no 6th...

I don't if you can understand anything of that but I don't...That's something for the gears.I think how long they are...

Ofcourse i defenitly choose for the Alfa Romeo!!

I like the beautiful design of the Alfa!! Looks great
I think the R32 does not look much more than quite normal.. except a few things.

The Alfa is faster!! and Topgear said that quality of a 156 GTA was even so good than a BMW 330CI!
So i think the Quality of the VW won't be much better than the Alfa Romeo..

Than the intrieur, WoW what a diffrence i Really DON"T like thatboring VW intriour ,
Well Alfa's Intriour is really BEAUTIFUL designed!! looks Great and nice sporty!

The Alfa has only 1 - point and that's he have's FWD :( ,

Greetz : Danny!

Hmm, okay, thats good. I was wondering which engine/drive setup the Alfa had. I Though the VW had a 6th gear?! Ah well, I could be just stupid today. Anyway, I think the R32 would lend itself better for tuning (at least in the US, I know there's a ZILLION VW parts available) and :P the Alfa is definitly not coming to the States. What sort of tuning pats are avaible elsehwere for it? I wouldn't know . It also has the AWD which would give it better handling ect and you could safely give more power without insane burnouts like only two wheel drive would give. AWD means better high speed stablility too, which is always a plus. That aside though, I still don't know what the other car looks like, exterior or interior, so I really can't make a judgement on that.

This are the both intriours of those cars; Now you guys can imagine my opinion maybe better not that i must read next post again : Danny has no taste , or Danny does only love Italian cars , quite logical they are the most beautiful !!! :evil:

Well hope you all like the pictures! ,

Greetz : Danny the Alfa Romeo Freak![/img]

well the design of the GTA's interior is alot better, its more orginal, but the VW's is nailed together better.
So its what you prefer, looks or durability.

As I have already said, I would choose the GTA...If only the VDC could be deactivated :twisted:

GTA for me ......
the design is great///
i alsaw know that driving the alfa gives you the pleasure....

there was one advertisment for alfa that said....

"AUDI talks to your Mind ....Alfa talks to your Sense"

the feeling in the alfa is much better i assume .... :p

'Mallon , why do you think the durability of the VW is better??

I know that's their name VW = Durability! But that = not always true!

I can show you a movie and that's a topgear magazine i thought... were someone drive's in a GTA!!

They said : Alfa turned the quality up!!
And she said : If someone asked me before today( before she drove the GTA ) : who builds the best alrounds sports saloon? i proberly said BMW , but now Is the 156 GTA here with the german quality (durability) and more action and he's looking BEAUTiFUL from every side!!! hehe in 1 word! : BEATEN!!

oh God i'm in love :mrgreen:

Oh and she said to : WELL DONE CHAMPS!! :D
She love the sound of the GTA :D

and quit danny quit they must know it now :)

Mallon if you wanna see that movie than speak i've got the URL!

Greetz : Danny!

the problem with that car that its a FWD //
if it was a RWD... she would probably be one of the best ... :twisted:

Man, if the Alfa was AWD I'd shoot myself in the head. If I was given the choice, it would be for the GTA and try to make the factory put an AWD system in there :lol: Sadly, I'm "stuck" with only having the R32 available to me, and I don't think I really want any other car besides that and an S2000. :twisted:

I prefer the Golf, because it certainly has better handling with the AWD and because it's German.

(PS: this is my 500th post!!!!!!)

US is not getting R32, at least that was the official statement, anyway i'd go for the Golf............but just you wait for the Cosworth 2005

alfa !

Did you see Michael Schumacher in the previous race.He drove the Alfa Romeo 156 GTA which is racing with the BMW's...Do you know who's leading in this championship.In the end, Alfa gets more votes...Hahahaha.My thought is that Alfa is much beatiful.R32 is better in handling(Don't know that anyway).Both cars designed for handling.I don't think that Alfa has less handling than R32 has...

'Mallon , why do you think the durability of the VW is better??

I know that's their name VW = Durability! But that = not always true!
!

..in this case its true
can you think of a case where it isnt BTW?

VW = VolksWagen (German)
VolksWagen = 'Car for the people'
The company was named that way because it started producing affordable cars (ie like the old Beetle) in an era when cars were very expensive.

@ Mallon ;

NEW AR 156 2.0 JTS VS. VW Passat 2.0 ?????????

AR 156 GTA VS. BMW 330 CI??

I know you guys are right about one thing , there are MORE italians cars with low durability than german cars!

But Italia build enough cars with durabilty who you can compare with VW or BMW!!
I think tyou CAN't Say ITALIAN cars , i think much Italian cars 'don't have the durability as an VW , but i think especially Alfa Romeo ( new models) having a great durability!

greetz : Danny!

VW 2.0Lt. engine sucks.............Only 115 hp from a 2lt engine?This is the engine that the New Beetle cabrio wears.This is the only engine that moves Beetle cabrio.

the interior of the Alfa is SO perty ! the VW is TOO original and BORIN ! EWW !

I like you girl! :lol:

love ya girl :oops:
Really love ya taste!! :lol:

hehe , greetz : Danny

I think it's funny when a "boring" looking car blows away "better looking" cars, like mustangs and the like. What else looks like a Golf body? Two carboradboxes with wheels? None the less, I still like the Golf, GTi, and R32 ALOT! and if I WAS given the choice, The Alfa would be a no brainer. Still, I only have the R32 avaiable in the near future and I will definitly like one over many others in it's price range.

You are writing that because Alfa's isn't so available there.If you drive an Alfa,if you see the engines and the other designs of the other cars you will love them. :wink:

ya i think Schumi is write...
the alfa gives you the max pleasure of driving ..
while the golf dont .....///
you feel good when you drive an alfa .. when you do you will understand what we mean :twisted:

VW's aren't so good at driving pleasure.I drove a lot of VW's but they were old.

YEAH SCHUMI!!! GO ON BRO!!

I think Much people from America choose to fast for a Vw or something , only because there are no Alfa's in america :|

Schumi is right!

I swear!
1 touch and : You fall in love!
1 throttle hit and : you fall in love with that sound!
1 look at the interior and : you hearth is completely become crazy! and falls in love !!
1 time put the pedal to the metal and then you'll see that Alfa's FWD car is faster than VW 's 4WD CAr and than the Italian love leaks into your body! without notice!

Greetz : Danny!

:arrow: Alfa Romeo 156 GTA .....
MAN YOUR IN LOOOOOOOOOOOVE :wink: :lol: :lol: :wink:

This one to Alfa and Schumi, the 147 is great, badass looking and overall a very competent performer

Don't wurry i love America too Very much!!

Greetz : Danny!

:arrow: Alfa: It's all 8) thanx man. I'm just a little too used to hearing american stuff sux, that's all thanx. And yea btw, i do like motorola way better than nokia, but sayno makes good ones too.... :wink:
