  Luxury Golf, more practical than a TT - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By vdub69 - April 3 - 2:00 am

  Since Ive only had this car for almost a week, reliability and quality is not a question that can be answered yet. For this reason, Im giving it a neutral rating. After 100,000 miles Ill let you know how reliable it was and how it holds together. I bought this car partly because I see it as a more practical(and less costly) version of the Audi TT. All-wheel drive (4-motion), similar engine, similar chassis, great stereo, great interior. This is a luxury car in Golf hatchback clothing. Automatic climate control seems to be working great.

  Big Smiles; Big Scratch for a Hot Hatch - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By Masswhole - March 24 - 10:00 am

  This is an Audi TT 3.2 with interior space and a 6-speed tranny at 75% of the cost. I "downgraded" from an Audi A4. Before that, I loved my Jetta GLX, esp. the responsive, peppy motor & tight suspension. The R32 has luxury, more pep, less curb weight, stickier suspension & Haldex AWD--a good compromise between the two cars. Im installing a 22mm rear antisway bar--the back end feels sloppy with high-speed swerving. (Factory tire pressure is too low also.) Im 30 y.o. and the GTI is aimed at the 18-24 y.o. demographic. I now get less road respect (less garage respect too; more door dings) post-A4; people (including cops) see a VW w/o understanding its performance.

  70,000+ miles and still in love! - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By zmoney - February 26 - 12:56 pm

  This is my daily driver and I couldnt have picked a better car. I was looking at an STI or Evo about 3yrs ago, but then I found the R32 at a great price. Youll love it. I get 22/29 city/highway and youll have more than enough get up and go to zip in and out of traffic. The seats are great, but they might be a tight fit for a larger person. Everyone loves the sound of the exhaust of course. The look of this car is great, but at the same time its not a cop magnet which is always a plus. Test drive the 2004 model and youll be hooked! It wont be mine however as shell die with me. :) If you do buy one please take it to the track at least once. Youll thank me later.

  Uber Golf - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By gtiness - February 20 - 2:00 am

  The combination of performance and luxury in a 2-dr hatchback in unique in the US market. An absolute blast to drive with looks that are sure to turn more than a few heads.

  Good job VW. - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By dads-R32 - February 15 - 10:00 am

  Traded my 02 GTI-337 in for the .:R32, what an upgrade. The VR6 engine is smooth, great power. Love the leather interior. If you have the means - get one. My kids love it. Would buy one again.

  R32 - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By jasonS - January 24 - 3:00 am

  This is absolutely the best car I have ever owned. I have previously owned other performance compacts such as the Integra GS-R, Integra Type-R & RSX Type- S, but this car is in its own class. AWD is great for the winter and the near 250hp will sure to keep you awake at the wheel. Drive one and you will understand....

  Alright, just not the best - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By HipHop - January 3 - 10:00 am

  I am a little dissapointed, on the test drive the car seemed great, after putting on 2k miles it is already losing its appeal to me, feels just like a golf, only slightly quicker - Ill most likely sell it and get an EVO - my other deciding factor to dump it is that two of my close friends have EVOs and they absolutely blow the doors off this thing, handling, and acceleration - time for an EVO

  Exotic racer or grocery getter? Its both - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By Peter Doney - December 19 - 6:50 am

  Since 1983, my lifes desire was to own a Renault R5 turbo2. I could never make the leap to owning such a specialized car - one that requires many compromises and probably many days and many dollars at the shop. Well, its 2006 and I now own and drive my dream car everyday. But as in a previous review, this car is all about balance. The functionality of the hatchback and fold down seats makes this my activity vehicle for hauling all my mountain bike and ski gear. My insurance agent thinks Im driving an economy car and that police officer just thinks Im driving my sons fixed up GTI (knock on wood), and yet in my mind, Im driving my all time favorite car - no matter what price.

  GREAT CAR!!!! - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By EL TEMPLO - November 10 - 10:00 am

  Owned a BMW 3-series for 2 yrs before this car which pales in comparison to my r32!. Great handling, very aggressive, and has loads of aftermarket potential. Unlike its competitors (Evo, Sti - The Evo MR does not even have ABS! Commuting kills Evos, Sti better for track) it has lots of comfort, luxury and greater power potential with the 6 cyl engine. The alloy rims, konig heated seats, awd, sunroof, and 6-speed tranny are all standard features. The fit and finish are top notch and feels like a 25-30K car. Theres more to driving than 0-60 in a straight-line. If you appreciate comfort and luxury with amped performance, check out the r32 (compare it to is300, 3-series, TSX, c-class).
