Both appeal to all age ranges ... I know some people in their 60s that got the R because it was close enough to an Audi but fun to drive and way cheaper than an RS3..I would be curious to know the average age of GTI and R owners, I wouldn't be surprised if it pushes in the 30's. They are the best bang for the buck. As others have said they have a nice style, drive well, excellent fit & finish and are sporty. In my opinion, the best all around urban car to have and it will also provide you with some fun time if you choose to do so.
I love my wife's GTI.
