    R32 is AWD... other than that I think they are FWD.

    The V6 R32 Engine and Drive Train are completely different. Wheels, exterior and interior pieces are specific to this model only.

    GTI is a different beast all it's own. They are both built on the GOLF platform... that's it for being similar.

    The R32 is the top of the line Golf. It is a VR6 engine, just a 3.2L as opposed to a 2.8L in the Golf VR6 model. The R32 usues a Haldex AWD system called 4MOTION. They all sit on the same chassis. The R32 is the only model in with AWD, the rest are FWD.

    If 'top of the line' is defined by original MSRP, then I think it's something like Golf < GTI < R32

    Guess I just figured you didn't look. In case you care it is also the same drivetrain that was in the A3.
