  • Better than the GTI, and AWD to boot!! - 2004 Volkswagen R32
    By -

    I purchased this car to replace my 1.8t GTI. I was moving from New Jersey to Montana, and wanted a sports car with AWD, to help get me to the Ski resorts in sporty style. This car is Awesome, I have owned 9 cars over the past 17 years, the last 4 cars were volkswagens. This car is simply the best I have ever owned. Great traction in the Rain and Snow (as long as you have appropriate tires, the stock tires are NOT for winter), and a 241 hp v6 engine that is faster than most cars.

    After you fit yourself into the R32, you are one. The performance is incredible, the styling is immaculate, and the comfort is unparelled. The only view anyone will have of you is you rear bumper. There wont be enough time to get your licence plate number. Happy driving.

    Third new VW. 4-motion and engine are great. Exterior is stylish but not over done. Love the interior. Exhaust note is great. Its so nice that I find myself not wanting to turn on the stereo.

    Picked up my R32 yesterday.. this is my 6th Golf, dating back to one of the earliest Rabbit GTIs to hit the streets in the USA back in November of 82. I test drove the R several weeks ago, prepared to be underwhelmed or even disappointed - instead I immediately decided I had to have one. The awesome VR6, the 4MOTION drivetrain, and refinement and comfort not available in the competition just won me over. The headlights are badly in need of an upgrade (either euro HIDs or halogen e-codes will be added soon) but other than that, this thing is the complete package.

  • Still a Great Car - 2004 Volkswagen R32

    I have owned my Volkswagen R32 for about four months now and it still excites me each time I drive it! The exhaust note is still addicting and the handling is incredible! This car is all about balance. Where all other cars in this class are about trying to get the fastest 0-60 times or the highest Gs and fastest slalom times, this car is about everyday, usable performance. On a 8/10 scale, it can keep up with anything on the road while delivering a comfortable ride, all wheel drive stability along with a bunch of options (moonroof, awsome stereo, automatic climate control, seat warmers, etc.). There is no turbo lag, no darty handling, just pure driving pleasure, and German style!

    This car drives excellent. The highway is just a walk in the park. No one would notice how fast the car is going at high speed if he doesnt look at the speedometer.

    This car is all about fun. Itll stick a grin on your face as soon as you turn the key and listen to the 3.2L VR6 engine come to life. Forget the GTIs of recent years. This thing means business and VW didnt disappoint. Gone are days of throwing on a GTI badge only to lift the hood and find a underpowered 2.0-liter inline-4 or having to resort to the utilitarian Golf, which, to give it credit, is not billed as a roller coaster ride. The German engineers got together and figured out how to revive the GTI/Golf name, and they called it R32. This car rocks. It handles with aplomb and the engines high-torque output connects anywhere on the powerband. What a thrill!

  • Love every minute of it! - 2004 Volkswagen R32
    By -

    I just bought this car 2 months ago. Im not into brand new cars, I love to buy pre-owned cars, so, Ive been looking around since March 06 for a 2004 pre-owned vehicle. Nothing drives like the R32. I test drove the Nissan 350Z, Audi TT, BMW 325i, or Lexus IS 330 and none of them gave me exactly what I wanted. When I took my 2001 Jetta VR6 into service I found this R32 not knowing what it was or how special it was at that time. I asked the salesperson for test-drive and that was it! It has the kind of drive I was looking for.

    No complaints. Eighth new VW, car is everything I had hoped for. 4-motion and engine are great. 6-speed seems to be very close ratio (in 1st thru 4th) and is a delight with a nice light clutch. Love the interior. Exhaust note is enhanced by removing vacuum line which controls a diverter valve byt the rear muffler, awesome!! Breaks are excellant, suspension is just right for street use.
