Darnnnnnnnn This video makes me want to go out and drive my .:R. Very nice video editing, Loved it

[holdemgti]

I own a 2008 GTI and have driven an 2008R32. I enjoy both cars but the R32 has incredible grip in all conditions. Have gone through 2 winters in northeast Ohio in the GTI with no problems on all season tires. Both cars have similar performance but are slightly different animals and great toys! And that exhaust note on the R32! GRRRR!!

im not sure if this is done by an american auto reviewer (probably isnt, its actually decent) but if it is, the did a good job by not having anyone talk during it. they all seem to be tools with no personality. take a top gear hint and get a real presenter. fuck.

I drive a Modded GTI and if i had the money i would buy the R32....just pure sex exhaust note, more classy looking and better linear power band. I love my GTI buy the R32 is the ultimate mass produced VW period.

Nice video!

[DIEGITOH]

i wouldn't think twice to buy this beauty if i had the money.

the only people who say "Beautiful sound but not beautiful enough to be 10k more than my gti that I could chip for $500 and be just as fast" are the people who cant afford the R32!

There is no competion the R32 is the badgers nadgers!

Twin turbo the r32 + Haldex controller + Milltech etc etc = PERFECTION. If you dont do all this, it is still a much better car than the gti.

[chatterguy33]

It's all relative

@siralantaylorATlive

lol. dude a twin turbo kit is atleast 25k from HPA. not a cheap or easy mod as you seem to be suggesting it is

[preparationhq]

Beautiful sound but not beautiful enough to be 10k more than my gti that I could chip for $500 and be just as fast.imo. Love the car though.

[ericghill]

Enjoy your torque-steer.

[preparationhq]

I'll enjoy it more than the R32's fat-ass.

[thefentoozler77]

...what torque steer?

[Skyjuice70]

yeah but you wont have that 4 wheel drive for added stability and traction around those sharp corners.

[preparationhq]

Weird, I thought R32's had ALL wheel drive. Plus, that doesn't mean anything when you way 2 tons. And how many instances have you had in your life where you actually NEEDED awd? I'm sure it's not many. My GTI corners very well btw.

[thewatcherM4]

GTI's are good handling cars, but R32's don't "way" (I think you meant weigh) 2 tons. And...if you need a lesson on the advantages of AWD, bring yer butt up to the upper midwest in January after an ice/snow event. I'll call for a tow truck for your ditched GTI from the toasty heated seat of my R32 as I blow past.

[preparationhq]

no, I definitely meant "way"... and I was overexagerating, by the weigh, on the wayt of the car. And an ice/snow event is definitely one of those EXTREMELY rare events where I would NEED awd. of course I would get smoked. it's fucking ICE..or snow.

[swampchild]

holy shit, your grammar is horrible.

wayt? using weigh instead of way and vice versa? good god someone get this man a dictionary!

[fantaman13]

like music to the ears

[mikesajerk]

that was bar none the best VW video I have ever watched... and believe me, there have been many many many

[Forshbr04]

Numbers-wise, I'm not sure that you really get that much more over the normal GTI, but that noise is worth every penny.

[otmlb1128]

yeah, you do. you get around 50 more hp. (i think). but the sound is worth every penny.

[melbastina]

Cool car, sounds nice but boring movie.

[dbqjoe]

Sounds great. Personally I think the frontend of the GTI looks better, but I would love to have the R32 if i couod afford it.

[yonni3998]

Damn is that a cool car. Too bad we cannot import them to canada as vw does not care about us candaian's eh !!

[mikesajerk]

no kidding eh

[Z3uS2]

Nice video, as usual.

Great noise the R32 makes!
