I considered a Golf R as a replacement for a Golf GT; however the 'R' was the same price as the F30 (once spec'd similarly) and, even though it's VW's flagship car I wasn't spending £36k on a Golf! The F30 also came with more as standard. For me it was a no brainer and am delighted with the F30 and it's 8 speed Sports Auto. BUT I would have loved to have test drove the R to compare; how did it compare - I made the right choice, right?!
