Golf R32 (6 cyl) or Golf R (4 cyl turbo) (both are AWD)
2004 is manual only, choices are leather or cloth seats.
2008 is DSG only (automatic)
2013 is manual only and comes in 2 door or 4 door, basic package or loaded with sunroof/nav/push button start/premium sound.
Can get a new R for at least $2k under invoice and 0.9% through vw credit, they are selling very slow. I saw a brand new 2 door basic package for $28k several months ago.

I personally owned the 2004 R32 and currently the 2013 Golf R, as well as 2005 Impreza 2.5RS. Really loved the 2004 and regret selling it. 2013 is just OK, not a fan of 2.0L turbos but if you're looking at WRX's I guess that doesn't matter to you. The subaru felt very cheap so I wasn't a fan, even as a winter beater.
