I had a Mk 6 GTi in 2009 and I think the Mk6 R was also out at the time, because I was making a direct comparison. But the GTi was quick enough and as I'd started to take part in a car-sharing lift-to-choir-practice and was also living nearer family, I was under pressure to get a 5-door car. (My previous cars had all been 3-door without issue, but circumstances change.)
But in 2009 the R was 3-door only so that fits with what you're saying. At least it was a face-saver on the GTi forum, where getting an R was extra kudos point. Can't do it lads, family pressure insists on a 5-door!
