I'd
take that link with a grain of salt. germancarfans.com shows 0-60 time of 6.6 seconds. Kind of heavy for a two door hatchback, boxy, and I would think they would have squeezed more power out of a 3+ liter motor for a sports car. The AWD system they use gets good reviews.

It
looks like that's 400hp, not 400whp for a turbo'd 3+ liter. Stock block STIs are making in excess of 550whp.

R32s are nice cars. They are built with more quality than EVOs and STis, but due to the weight, they lose out in performance. They weigh about twice as much as the original GTI.
They are only slightly quicker than WRXs, but a tad slower than FXTs, STis and EVOs.

I like the R32, but it's not the best bang-for-your-buck.
If you want a nice interior, get an '06 WRX limited, then get your exhaust/UTEC/suspension, etc. It'll still be cheaper than the VW and it will perform a whole lot better.
