Are you missing a zero in behind that 3? IF that is true, you're making all of us here looking like a fool. 470WHP, with $3K? With $3k we couldn't even make the Evo with 470horse at the crank.

Stock to stock, the Evo (especially an IX) will smoke the R32 in ALL performance categories. The gap only widens as you start to mod. The only reason to get an R32 over an Evo is for the interior, certainly not performance. However one car that you haven't looked at is an A4 2.0T quattro. It's pretty nice when it's chipped. Obviously not in the same performance league as the Evo, but if you want a cush car that is fast ...

Actually STIs are really nice cars too, and they are fast too.

I wouldn't mind having a STI

The Evo has one Modders car of the year 2 years in a row, if you're going to mod, buy an Evo.
