  2004 Volkswagen R32 - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By Maybaby74 - February 5 - 7:06 am

  Wow, after owning a fixed-up, 480 hp 300ZX turbo, Id never thought I would find another car to meet my performance needs! Everything on the R32 is top notch! The power delivery is silky smooth and linear! its not as fast as some of the import turbos, but its more buttoned down, mature, and easy to live with. The handling/AWD is incredible and the tranny is perfect. The interior is very nice and the exterior hints (not screams) about the capabilites of the car. It is extremely stable both at high speeds and around curvy roads...what a car. And, there are only 5,000 in all of US...Ferrari exclusivity! This car is way more fun then the Z I used to own. and oh...did I mention the exhaust note!

  I bought the R32 for my 16 year old son. However, I am really enjoying the car over some much more expensive choices. Performance is good, handling and braking are excellant. I am looking forward to doing some mods to extract a bit more power-probably K&N air filter, and a chip. I own MB and Audi and enjoy the R32 more than a M3 that I just drove. Price is fair for the quality of this German-built car.

  Best all weather car ever - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By Dorothy Niss - December 25 - 12:40 pm

  The 2004 Volkswagen R32 is a keeper. WIth Nokian tires it handles superbly in all weather conditions: snow, ice, rain. My R32 has received standing ovations from fellow concert-goers and a great amount of interest from VW fans. Its my all-time favorite car.

  For me, the R32 is all about easy-to- drive performance. Everything about the car - the steering, clutch, gas, gearshift, and brakes - requires only a very light touch. I find myself dipping into the throttle just to hear the engine, and zipping around turns just to feel the car cling to the road. The downside of this is that gas mileage suffers as a result. The brushed aluminum look of the interior and highly bolstered seats make seattime very enjoyable. On the downside, the wheels get dirty very quickly, and the interior is small for 4. Also, the car drones when cruising above 80mph.

  Never too old to have fun - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By Doc J - November 8 - 9:56 am

  At 60+ Im probably not the usual R32 driver but its been my daily ride for nearly 6 years. I drive it hard and love it. Reliability has been good other than for major transmission repairs at 35,000 and 65,000 miles along with clutch replacements at the same time. I dont think I drive THAT hard, but maybe I push it harder than the average driver. Ive heard that AWD vehicles a hard on their drive trains because their wheels cant slip to release strain. Other than that issue a wheel bearing at 70,000 and an instrument cluster replacement under warranty have been the only other major repairs. Ive yet to replace the brakes (maybe thats why I have worn out the clutches!)

  Why two seater when you can have this!!! - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By Rocking Ronny - October 1 - 2:00 am

  This car is a joy to drive, plenty of excelaration,great handling and dynamite looks. And the interior was the real clincher for me. Quality leather all controls well thought out and features you would expect only in a high end car, like BMW, Mercedes or Audi. Very solid body, just shut doors and hear the quality. Only had it for a short period of time but Im more than happy with it.

  3 years ownership - my second favorite - 2004 Volkswagen R32
  By ESSDEEKAY - August 27 - 7:33 pm

  Other than a 2003 Porsche, this R32 has been my favorite of the dozen cars (mostly European) I have owned the last 30 years. It is uber-practical and has as much performance as I need. I run it stock, other than the snow tires I switch to in winter months. Really pleased at the high resale value retained by this limited production car. Only "problem" I have experienced is an ocassional false "loose fuel cap" warning when the gas tank runs low. Low maintenance costs (relative to BMW/Porsche/Audi) has been a very pleasant bonus - less than half the amount of my other cars.

  The Volkswagen R32 is an excellent vehicle. The only major issues that I have had with it are the lack of a facotory turbo option, the rims are too heavy, and the car needs HIDs.
