lookin good IMHO!

I like it and 240hp in that small car is pretty good! is it 4x4 ?

Nice ride man. I've got a garage full of VWs. Just picked up another one this week.

You might get some laughs here, but those who do don't know a good thing when they see it. Fuck the haters :thumbsup

Yep. Same system as an Audi.

Those are tiny little race monsters love it! :thumbsup

Very nice, however there is a new model golf available in Europe atm.

Awesome :thumbsup the R32 is sweet

Looks great man!

R32 is nice.
Do you know the german tv-spot?

R32 is a badass VW man.. congrats on being a proud owner...

VW's are solid built cars. Good choice!

One of my friends had the VW Pasatte. Really nice.

Fuck the Mk5 Golf. That shit looks too much like a Civic.

nice car for sure. :thumbsup

I like everything but those hubcaps. :)

I like it! very cute!! I love the rims and the rubber!!:thumbsup

yea 4Motion in VW terms but yep it's 4X4

Hubcaps? You don't pay almost $30k for a car with hubcaps.

good lookin car :thumbsup

yea WTF those are 18's on low profile goodyears

garage full what all do you got =) this is my first and i'm a very very proud owner i recomend VW for everyone that wants a very well built car, all the bells and whistles of BMW/Benz and some stuff those don't have

nope links?

I've got a 1986 GTi that I'm in the process of rebuilding from scratch. The plan is to drop a VR6 into it once all the body mods are done. I've been working on this one for a year now, with no end in site.

I've got a 1999 GTi that is bone stock. Not too sure what my plans are for this one. It just sits for the most part.

Last week I stole my buddies 1996 Jetta GLX VR6. He spent the past year modding it, so I don't have to tinker. He hadn't Dyno'd it, but says it should run about 250 HP or so. That R32 weighs less, so you'd probably take me in a race...but I smoked a new 330ci the other day. Not bad for a $5k :Graucho

These are just the three I have now. Have had others and will probably have more in the future. My daily driver is a Honda Accord...but I've got the R32 on my mind. :Graucho

I love it. Personally tho I prefer the Anniversary Edition, Paul -C- had one but sold it for a Supra.

I loved that car, shame I couldn't get insured on it or I would have bought it.

Hope you enjoy your car, its a sweet machine.

little fucker has dual exhaust:thumbsup

I dont pay 30k for a car two average sized guys could flip on it's side either. :1orglaugh

That's your loss. :winkwink:

:Graucho

lol flip no way this baby corners like no tomorrow wide tires and a low stance makes for fast corners that feel fluid like ;)

It'll look good don't worry.

Not bad, 240hp all wheel drive. How much does it weigh?

For the love of god dont rice it out.

I actually kind of like the old design more than that new one posted. But VW is definitely good stuff, very nice choice :thumbsup

Woo, spoke to soon, didnt see that new silver one yet with the sideskirts and what not, very nice :winkwink:

VW is about the only good new car you can buy. Everything else, except for some of the Benz stuff, is made like shit.

Lookin good, congrats.

Good car, nice design and powerful horses...!

Samuel

It's Cute!:thumbsup

but with the $$ u spent u coulda got a better car

It looks sweet and I would be proud too. But if I saw that car driving down the street I would not look twice.
:2 cents:

I'm a euro/vw enthusiast



LOVE the R32 bill!

Ive changed alot though :Graucho

There isn't much in the $25-30k range that could touch this car.

From VWVortex:

The R32- a 911 in a box.

I?ve always owned VWs, specifically Golfs and GTIs, but I?ve also spent my fair share of time in and around rather more exotic machines. Of all the cars to which I?ve been exposed, the one that I?ve always felt represented the best all around sports car is the Porsche 911, specifically the last of the air-cooled Porsches - the 993. The 993 in naturally aspirated form is blessed with appropriate power, balanced handling, and excellent brakes. The seating position is rather upright, contrary to the sports car norm, affording the driver an excellent view of the road and surrounding traffic. The back seats are somewhat functional, at least on a short-term basis, and the front storage compartment holds more than most would believe.

After spending a few days behind the wheel of the Golf R32, I couldn?t help but draw similarities between it and a Porsche 993. In fact from the driver?s seat (which with its shoulder-supporting wings and deep, deep bolsters would itself be right at home in the 993), it?s very easy to forget that the R32 is actually a Golf. The driver is also treated to what may be the best steering wheel ever to come out of Germany, its three spokes reaching out to a leather-wrapped rim of a most satisfying girth. The view through the steering wheel reveals a very purposeful gauge cluster, trimmed in silver rings for added effect. The R32 appears to be all about the business of driving, and that?s without even starting the engine.

A quick turn of the key fires up the 3.2-liter VR6 engine, which sounds sexier than any Golf should have the right to. The deep note of the dual exhaust can be played from idle and all the way to redline in all six of the gears, turning the gas pedal into a musical instrument. For added orchestral excitement, try a heel-and-toe downshift; the pedal arrangement and gear ratios seem to be made for this.

The biggest-yet VR6 creates plenty of torque down low, making even second-gear starts a painless affair. The 24-valve engine keeps pulling all the way through the RPMs until the power falls off softly as the rev limiter takes over. The only bump in the otherwise smooth powerband is the slight dip at around 4000 RPM, when the variable intake manifold apparently takes effect.

All of the power (240 horses according to VW) gets distributed between each of the four wheels via the R32?s 4-Motion all-wheel-drive system. The 4-Motion system does far more than just provide power at the rear; it totally transforms the nature of the VR6 in the Golf. I?ll admit that I?ve never been a really big fan of combining this powerful-but-heavy engine in the standard front-drive platform. The issue has always been one of balance and control. Perhaps it?s the added overall weight, but the R32 chassis makes better use of the powerful six-cylinder engine than any front-drive Golf could ever do. The end result is an appropriately balanced car that handles very well, on-throttle or off, and without any drama.

To complete the performance picture, I must not forget the brakes, which on the R32 are the same massive discs, vented both front and rear, as on the Audi TT 3.2. Scrubbing speed in the R32 is never a problem, even after repeated hard stops. A day of continuous lapping at the Gingerman road course last year resulted in no fade at all, despite the 3400-lb weight of the car.

These are the qualities the R32 possesses which remind me so much of the 993. Some will no doubt argue that there are faster cars than the 993, and that is certainly true. The same will be said of the R32, appropriately so. But unlike so many of the ?faster cars? with which they will inevitably be compared, both the R32 and the 993 are practical everyday sports cars, lacking the temperamental nature of turbochargers, the impracticality of genuine supercars, and the Johnny-Law-attracting, boy-racer visual effects of the WRC pretenders.

Is the R32 a perfect car? No, but I?m willing to overlook the fact that it?s slightly overweight, lacks xenon headlamps, and sits a little higher than the European version. The fact is this is the best performance hatchback VW has ever built, and may be the only all-wheel-drive Golf we see in this country for a long time. It has all the necessary elements of a true driver?s car without anything ?extra? to take away from it.

Nice! I love the color too!

That car totally rocks!:thumbsup

Nice rides!

That's cool! :thumbsup

R32 is the way to go !! GREAT car :thumbsup

Looks ok for a VW :thumbsup

If you like it fuck what others say
I have a 1302 in mint condition and I think it is a cool drive:thumbsup
