i used to own a r32 now i've gone to r33, newer car etc, bit more roomy, bit extra power etc, feels better to drive for me personally.
although the r32 felt like you could throw it around a lot lol, fun can to drive and great handling as well!
i think you should test drive both, then decide yourself that's you best bet!
As for fuel consumption, turbo cars drink through fuel easy....depends how much boost your running/how heavy your right foot is!
i've found them both to be fairly reliable..
