  • Great track car, right out of the box. - 2004 Volkswagen R32
    By -

    This is a very impressive vw and without a doubt the best vw ever. Once we got 1200 miles on her, we raced in a corvette club event(autocross style road course)and beat them all. Engine has hard steady pull to redline,grip is astonishing and the brakes have to be one of the best on the road today. The best part about the car is the sound she makes from her true dual exhaust. Noone knows about the R32,they think its just a golf(insurance companies too).This makes her a true SLEEPER,there are few cars right from the factory that can beat this one,especially on the track. She is scary fast around town and she will assure you of getting many looks and tickets

  • The SIngle Best Car You Never Knew About - 2004 Volkswagen R32

    My current Deep Blue Pearl 2004 R32, is actually my SECOND. In between, I drove a 2005 Audi S4 with a 344hp V-8 under its hood. I missed my 250hp (yes it DID HAVE 250 stock) uber-hatch. What can a person POSSIBLY FIND to complain about with this car, except perhaps the limited rear-seat legroom? Its faster (w simple tuning) than the Audi, has an Audi engine, Audi AWD, will stop faster than 99.9% of ALL CARS, will handle until YOU QUIT and comes with nearly all the luxury features the S4 did ( & some extra), plus its the only VW to be built by Porsche in Slovakia. 5,000 autobahn-intended machines imported at American journalists behest for the U.S. ONLY. FAST, FUN, PRACTICAL... GERMAN.

    Every outing is reconfirmation of the joy of driving. This is the best VW product Ive driven, and Ive had many including 2 VR6 Corrados.

  • Best Bang for the Buck - 2004 Volkswagen R32

    This is the most fun in a car I have ever owned. I have owned everything from old big block Chevys to small cars and this is my second VW Golf and I dont think I will ever want another car. The Japanese and American car builders could learn something from the Germans if they would buy one of these cars and drive it. The power, all wheel drive and fun ratio is Awesome!

  • Great Performer;Construction needs help - 2004 Volkswagen R32
    By -

    Absolutely love the car. Small fit and finish items are not quite on par with the care of in designing the rest of the vehicle. E-brake button fell off, Cover for seat mechanism fell off. Lever for moving seat forward unhinged, but surprisingly went back in place with minor ease. I consider all of this minor as the car is still under warranty and this items are non-mechanical. All of the special options for the car work like a dream. Heated seats, heated mirrors, climate control, 4Motion, self-dimming rear-view mirror has all been used extensively and no failures noted to date. This is a powerful car and is dangerous to the unexperienced driver.

    This has been a fun car to drive for 103,000 miles so far. With snow on the ground and winter tires, it is an absolute blast. Reliability has been good, needing just a wheel bearing and fuel pump so far. Of all the cars I have owned, this is by far the most all around fun to drive.

    Others have described the performance attributes of this hot hatchback. Given the acceleration potential, to see gas mileage in the mid-twenties is remarkable. Also, the ride comfort is great, factoring-in the phenomenal handling limits.

  • Its no kids car - 2004 Volkswagen R32

    The R32 feels like a car VW built just for me. I purchased my first GTI is 1985 and I loved that car. I took the long way home every chance I had. This car is everything that first GTI was and more, way more. There are many vehicles in its price range but none have the the same performance and exclusivity that the R32 does. I could have paid less and I could have paid more but I couldnt have gotten more for less. The R32 is VWs S4. Its that good. Compared to the Japanese competition neither felt like they were right for me just too Pep Boys/Fast and Furious. The R32 simply is so much more refined they dont feel like they are direct competition to it.

  • Sporty with seating for four and a trunk - 2004 Volkswagen R32

    I bought the 2004 Volkswagen R32 after taking home a Mazda RX-8 and a Nissan 350Z. I loved both of them, but they each had their drawbacks, the Wankel engine in the RX- 8 and no storage and no back seat in the 350Z. The R32 fit the bill of what I was looking for in a car. The AWD paired up with the 3.2L V6 make this car thoroughly enjoyable. I drive a lot, and this car is very comfortable on the interstates, and in town is comfortable as well. Its exhaust note is mentioned often, and for good reason. I wanted a car that was fun to drive, but could carry my girlfriend, two dogs, and camping gear. It also needed to allow me to appear responsible. All in all, this car is a dream.
