VW R 32 Golf

[GettinHeadStuds]

I was talking with a co-worker and he mentioned something about a 240 horsepower all wheel drive VW Golf. My first thought: Perfect daily driver.

Does anyone have any additional information on the release of this car?

Thanks

they're already out there. One of the TRE customers brought his by to show off. Nice car.

I've always thought the GTI/Golf was a nice looking little hatch, but geez, I sure don't need modern VW reliability issues.

They really AWD? Man...that'd be cool.

I know I saw 4Motion golfs in France last year...

[GettinHeadStuds]

Holy poop! They ARE out already. I just searched for one in my area...

Pacific Volkswagen:
Price: $30,775
Mileage: 0
Engine: 3.2L 6 cyl Fuel Injection
Blue, front wheel drive.

Hhehehehe, test drive?

A friend has one. Great performance. He loves it. Awesome looking too. He got rid of a WRX to buy it and hasn't looked back.

I drove a fellow Pelican's (69911s) r32 the other day. He chose it over the WRX. He made a good decision! Fun car.

My friend has one, he was going to choose from the rx-8, mitsu evo and the subaru, he ended buying the R32.......

I drove test it and heres my opinion.

Very clean design all the way around, is put together much better than some brand new vetts that I have tested.

Indeed AWD, dual exhaust, MASSIVE brakes she stops excellent, good a/c and all is properly fit in the cabin.

6 speed with a nice power band,
where they made a mistake that car should have come Turbo .

Overhaul very nice.

The R32 is a wonderful little car - when we bought my wife her New Beetle Turbo, there was one in the showroom.

Hmmmm - maybe it's time to upgrade my AWD Subaru Legacy Daily driver to an AWD R32.

-Z.

Philip,

Go check it out. Hell I'll go with you, I have been meaning to try one out myself. I bought the VW Jetta GLI for the daily which came out right before the R32. It is a 200hp 6 speed. They added a lot to the body of the GLI for the 2004 model but I still have the Recaros in front just not all the fancy logos on the shifter and the seats.

Good cars, a little bit numb and very heavy, but a good car nonetheless.

This is the same thing my dad said when I asked him if he wanted to tag along with me this weekend. I'll report back after we check 'em out.

I have way too many acquaintences/colleagues who've had problems with the 2000-and-later crop of Jetta-platform vehicles...

Hope your luck is better!

Nice...I was going to post the same thing, HPA has turned a Golf into a car tha will sit with an Enzo!!!!! TUV tested at over 200 MPH, its simply amazing for the money, imagine the look on a guys face in a Lambo or Ferrari after they get smoked by a Golf?

Still a smoking deal for the level of performance you are getting, what in total a R32 TT would cost around $60 to $70 k and be able to run with Enzos, Carrera GT's, F1's, etc. I want one

[turbocarrera]

It's still gonna have a golf chassis and suspension.. it would be a fun car.. but an Enzo, McClaren, or CGT competitor?.. not gonna happen.
