I love my 08 R32. The perfect car for me... totally reassuring on the road, in all weather, all speeds, even foolish ones in the rain. Smooth. Fast. Quiet inside (except when it counts!). The only thing it needs is electric memory seats. Otherwise... yee ha! (It did take a while to get used to the paddles... though. But I did!).
chick car styling sux. 32k for a golf, 27-29k k for a civic si, damn near 40k for a subaru and mitsu. R u fukin serious. No wonder we are losing our houses and have maxed out credit cards.
I have a 5dr R32 with DSG. Great all rounder. Great saftey for the family and a boys toy when you are on your own. Love it to bits,,,,wish the price of petrol would come down though!!!!
I have an '09 and it does come with launch control in the dsg transmission. It is to be noted that, as u take ur foot off the brake, it takes about 1/2 second for the power to come through to the wheels, so for an optimal start u need to take ur foot off the brake a lil before than the lights turn green.
Launch control: ESP off, Transmission = S or M, Press brake, Floor accelerator, Release brake. The car has launch control, I use it off the start line in autocross all the time.
Its heavy and you get alot of stuff in it you don't in other cars that compete against it. Like heated seats, leather, navi if you get the option. Plus its a german car... Interior of it is very very nice if you ask me.
the difference in the times can be attributed to how they do the launch. you can turn the TCS off and mash the gas and brake and let off the latter and you get this violent launch and have to deal with smelling your clutch for the next few minutes. this isn't advised since it is obviously beating the shit out of your tranny. it looks like edmunds left tcs on for their runs.
Yeh my Dad has an R32 and I still wonder today how it can be so fast considering it only has 184kw (250hp) and weighs upwards of 1500kgs. The numbers don't seem to add up. Any knowledge to why it is so fast despite average power and weight figures?
Yeh an 05 STI is only 10kg lighter than an R32 (presumably manual) and actually (surprisingly) has a marginally worse weight distribution (front:rear) R32- 59:41 STI- 59.3:40.7. Yes I know this is so small but I was just surprised to find that these figures would be so similar considering the R32 has a 3.2 compared to a presumably lighter 2.0 t in the STI.
For the US there were only 5000 shipped over for the 2008 model year. You can either get a A3 2.0 Quattro and chip it, pay an ass load for the A3 3.2 S-line, or just wait till the GTI-R comes out (or whatever they call it) in 2 years or so.
im sorry guys...while i get that the r32 is cool and quick and such (even though its not THAT quick), i just cant justify spending the ridiculous amount that it costs on a VW. I have a mk4 gti, and sometimes when i see an r32, sure i get all "aw, wish i got that..." but then i think....wow, i still have twenty grand more in my account because i dont. for the cost, r32's are a complete rip. i know its my opinion but i cannot see how someone would drop that much on a car with r32 numbers...
I have owned mine now for 6 months having traded a 2007 GTi. I would never go back. It's not the best value for money in many ways but its awesome to drive and I never get sick of it. I also own an SLK280
im not questioning its drivability, but the fact is, r32s hit 0-60 in 6.2 to 6-4 secs, which is slower than, for example, an E46 m3, 3.2TT, and S4. You could pick up used 32's from about $23k with middle mileage, and new ones for $29 to $34. of the other cars listed, with higher build quality, faster engines, better suspensions, and higher curb appeal (my opinion), you could get all of them in roughly the same price range with mileage as the 32's. for the money that is sunk in...why get a vw?
I dont disagree with some of your comments. I have had owned three WRxs and other fast cars and have an SLK Mercedes too. The way I just a car is not in the 0-60 figures so much as its total driveability, I loved my Subarus but this is the car I would still choose to take on a long country drive any day. The build quality is excellent and I adore the engine note. I get sick of cars in a real hurry and I still rush down to the exec car park to get into my Vee Dub.

hey gregisnumerouno, I completly get your point. The r32 is a really nice car, but it is pretty overpriced. You can have an old e46 m3 for the same price!
Personally I would only buy the r32 used, its a lot cheaper than, and has still a lot to offer. Over all the r32 is a really nice car, a lot better than the gti, and the only thing, which annoys me is the big engine. I would rather get a high turbo-charged one, like the s3 from audi, with four-wheel drive and 15 hp more.
this car has 240 hp and it only does the quarter mile in 14.6 secs wtf. my gti 1.8t does it in 14.75 and im not even chipped??? something wrong there ive seen the older r32 does 14.0 at the quarter mile done stock but then again the new is heavier.
if they put a turbo charger on this r32 it would look more like a porsche...........it would be way out of its class....i dont think they wanna do that.
Motoarele pe benzina cu cilindreea de 1.0 si 1.4 din productia Vw /Seat a anilor 2002-2003 au avut de suferit defectiuni majore in iarna asta... Cauza: un defect de fabricatie al circuitului de ulei, care duce la acumularea de condens, ce poate ingheta:| Urmarea: blocarea lagarelor si GRIPAREA motorului. In ciuda furnizarii de catre vw a unui kit special, care ar fi trebuit sa rezolve problema, aceasta a reaparut chiar la masini cu kitul montat...
Tell me, why you can't turbocharge it? the engine would not be fucked up. I'd just make sure that i'd use quality parts, upgrade the cooling system with larger IC and run low - medium boost, you can't go wrong with that setup. Turbocharging is NOT dangerous or dangerous to the engine, if you do it correctly.
I agree wit u dude, everyone else look it up on google there are heaps of twin turbo r32s and what ive seen and heard even with turbos they are extremely reliable
You can but its not as simple as just throwing a turbo on and being the end of it, ul need to either remap ecu or buy a new one, cooling system, upgrade tranny n gearbox with certain parts so it can withstand the new (depending on how much you want 100-300hp) etc. but throwing a few $ at it and ul soon be smoking ferraris, bmw M3s etc for a quarter of the price.
This car sounds awesome; it has decent looks, and decent daily driver. However when it comes to performance it falls short. Good newstalking about tuning though, I cannot wait to see what people will squeeze out of this 3.2 V6! Thats just my opinion.
youre so retarded, this car has a lot better quality and build quality that those plastic pieces of shit? the Wehrmacht LOLLL>>>so japanese car drivers are members of the KAMIKAZE ??AAHAHAHAAH
u know wats funny? that VW actually made the GTI specially to compete againt the Si.......to take a slice of that segment......dont u think thas funny? VW worry about civic?
its not funny at all, the civic si is a great car and VW can make cars as good or better than Honda, for the same price, so there is nothing really funny
no its not funny........cause i said it before....nothing compares to german performance....to me the GTI is a more upscale car.....better than the civic.....i have nothing to hate on those cars.....that wa sactually my first choice when i was shopping for car.....u know which cars i hate and really diss........american.....sweet american junk!!! hahaha ....now thats funny!!
im a civic guy, but that car sounds sick......i thought i could actually do better, like 5.8 to 60 and mid 14's.....but anyways, its a nice car....u cant go wrong with german cars.......
No STOCK Civic could do that, not even an 07 Si. Heh. This is a stock R32, imagine what it's capable of if you dumped as much money into this thing as you put into your Honda.
now ur coming a bit too sarcastic on my bro......dont get too ahead here.....look at those numbers....the r32 is doing 0.88g on the skippad, my civic in 0.89g..my slalom 68.9 the r32 67.8...60-0 in 124ft for the r32 and 128ft for the civic....so dont think my civic is a pushover....
wow wow!!! wait........bone stock.......inside line....this same link.......when they did the same review on the civic back in 07.......when i said my car i mean..........the civic si........lets have this clear....im not saying my car is better, cause my first comment was, that the r32 is sick, sounds awsome........but ur puting the civic low....let me remind u...that 06 si vs 06 GTi...are almost the same, eventho the Gti has 200lbs torque, civic still managed to come on top.....
That's cause Honda is the worlds largest car manufacturer and your average american buyers don't know what performance is. I happen to know for a fact my car (06 GTI) can and will outperform the Si. I don't race on the street, but every comparison article in every magazine I've ever read (Car and Driver, Consumer Reports, etc...) And every review I've seen on TV puts the GTI a little better than the Si. If you still doubt me, go up against any stock GTI in your neighborhood. The proof is there.
You're raving about your .96g but that's holding a single turn. Let's see your car get anywhere near the R32's slolam speed. Your oversteer would lag like a wet fish. Please don't tell me you're saying that with that much slide you wouldn't be half as likely to spin out as make it through the corner, and there's only one word for that...
Pathetic.
By the way, R32 isn't worth the money. Pick up a GTI and chip it.
i disagree thats one of the things that golf owners love, the shape, it grows more curves but is still unmistakably a golf, thats like saying porsche should change the shape of their cars its getting old & tired, why change something that obviously sells
typical teen american comment, you dont have a clue about ANYTHING yet seem to think that Germany is filled with nazis, ok thats what we see on films... so films must be true... does that mean all americans are like forest gump? thats what we see afterall.
ws6transam..... i wouldn't say vw is boring, some people love vw golf, this is just a generation thing and people are golf fans, you on the other hand seem to like a prehistoric car with suspension that should have been made in china that has the cornering ability of a sponge cake, ANYONE can make a fast car that doesn't need to corner, German engineering can and does do both, as do all european and asian countries, just Americans are a little slow at catching on
lol dude your so dumb its sad. if your anywhere near new new york ill let you come try and stay anywhere near my car in a corner in my "pre historic" car lol.....
why does everyone think german cars handle so great? lol my car pulls .95g in the corners
and yes, vw is boring and slow. any slow car can feel like it corners good when it cant go fast enough to even reach the limits of handling. go back to driving your beetle.
the corvette owns german cars on their own precious nurburgring. LOL!
>>Golf GTI-R mk. VI later this year. 2.0TSFI 280 bhp - Impreza killer.
-- its going to have 265 BHP, 11HP up on the R32, even at 280 that won't be enough to even come close to something like the Prodrive Impreza STI 330s... they will need to be shaving 1.5 seconds off the 0-60 time and 11HP isn't going to do that even if the engine is half the weight.
Golfs have gone flabby and slow in their old age, this R32 looks quite pedestrian, although it sounds nice.
why do people come to the video just to hate? fuck all your tubos this shit sounds better than an orchestra

what im saying is that the vw manafacture should put a factory turbo in it.

exactlly, 0-60 in like 5 sec, 13 sec 1/4 mile, after market bov it would sound great
mazda6tuner99 2 years ago
Tell me, why you can't turbocharge it? the engine would not be fucked up. I'd just make sure that i'd use quality parts, upgrade the cooling system with larger IC and run low - medium boost, you can't go wrong with that setup. Turbocharging is NOT dangerous or dangerous to the engine, if you do it correctly.
BEEMERFAN79 2 years ago
You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
"upgrade the cooling system with larger IC "
Upgrade? Are you implying it has an IC stock?
"Turbocharging is NOT dangerous or dangerous to the engine, if you do it correctly."
Define correctly. Any turbocharged setup will be detrimental to the engines health.

I agree wit u dude, everyone else look it up on google there are heaps of twin turbo r32s and what ive seen and heard even with turbos they are extremely reliable

Can I turbo my 2008 R32 with DSG?
saggo1712 2 years ago
You can but its not as simple as just throwing a turbo on and being the end of it, ul need to either remap ecu or buy a new one, cooling system, upgrade tranny n gearbox with certain parts so it can withstand the new (depending on how much you want 100-300hp) etc. but throwing a few $ at it and ul soon be smoking ferraris, bmw M3s etc for a quarter of the price.

This car sounds awesome; it has decent looks, and decent daily driver. However when it comes to performance it falls short. Good newstalking about tuning though, I cannot wait to see what people will squeeze out of this 3.2 V6! Thats just my opinion.

And I wouldn't bring an R32 to compete with an evo or an STi. Hehe. I'd bring an Audi RS4.

u know wats funny? that VW actually made the GTI specially to compete againt the Si.......to take a slice of that segment......dont u think thas funny? VW worry about civic?
07SiPOWER 2 years ago
its not funny at all, the civic si is a great car and VW can make cars as good or better than Honda, for the same price, so there is nothing really funny
8MunchenBayern8 2 years ago
no its not funny........cause i said it before....nothing compares to german performance....to me the GTI is a more upscale car.....better than the civic.....i have nothing to hate on those cars.....that wa sactually my first choice when i was shopping for car.....u know which cars i hate and really diss........american.....sweet american junk!!! hahaha ....now thats funny!!

07SiPOWER 3 years ago 2
No STOCK Civic could do that, not even an 07 Si. Heh. This is a stock R32, imagine what it's capable of if you dumped as much money into this thing as you put into your Honda.
ValorUnlimited 3 years ago
now ur coming a bit too sarcastic on my bro......dont get too ahead here.....look at those numbers....the r32 is doing 0.88g on the skippad, my civic in 0.89g..my slalom 68.9 the r32 67.8...60-0 in 124ft for the r32 and 128ft for the civic....so dont think my civic is a pushover....
07SiPOWER 3 years ago
Yaaa but yours isn't stock. =p That was my point. Stock you maybe have 200bhp. and something like 176 lb ft of torque. That is a STOCK car...
ValorUnlimited 3 years ago
wow wow!!! wait........bone stock.......inside line....this same link.......when they did the same review on the civic back in 07.......when i said my car i mean..........the civic si........lets have this clear....im not saying my car is better, cause my first comment was, that the r32 is sick, sounds awsome........but ur puting the civic low....let me remind u...that 06 si vs 06 GTi...are almost the same, eventho the Gti has 200lbs torque, civic still managed to come on top.....
07SiPOWER 3 years ago
That's cause Honda is the worlds largest car manufacturer and your average american buyers don't know what performance is. I happen to know for a fact my car (06 GTI) can and will outperform the Si. I don't race on the street, but every comparison article in every magazine I've ever read (Car and Driver, Consumer Reports, etc...) And every review I've seen on TV puts the GTI a little better than the Si. If you still doubt me, go up against any stock GTI in your neighborhood. The proof is there.

Exactly why I said go with the GTI, Kellogg. Chipped it'll outperform an R32, and it won't have that luxury car chrome front clip.

R32 looks almost the same as a GTI...
kelloggcerealxoxo 3 years ago
@transam
You're raving about your .96g but that's holding a single turn. Let's see your car get anywhere near the R32's slolam speed. Your oversteer would lag like a wet fish. Please don't tell me you're saying that with that much slide you wouldn't be half as likely to spin out as make it through the corner, and there's only one word for that...
Pathetic.
By the way, R32 isn't worth the money. Pick up a GTI and chip it.

ws6transam..... i wouldn't say vw is boring, some people love vw golf, this is just a generation thing and people are golf fans, you on the other hand seem to like a prehistoric car with suspension that should have been made in china that has the cornering ability of a sponge cake, ANYONE can make a fast car that doesn't need to corner, German engineering can and does do both, as do all european and asian countries, just Americans are a little slow at catching on
jocky102 3 years ago
lol dude your so dumb its sad. if your anywhere near new new york ill let you come try and stay anywhere near my car in a corner in my "pre historic" car lol.....
why does everyone think german cars handle so great? lol my car pulls .95g in the corners
and yes, vw is boring and slow. any slow car can feel like it corners good when it cant go fast enough to even reach the limits of handling. go back to driving your beetle.
the corvette owns german cars on their own precious nurburgring. LOL!

>>Golf GTI-R mk. VI later this year. 2.0TSFI 280 bhp - Impreza killer.
-- its going to have 265 BHP, 11HP up on the R32, even at 280 that won't be enough to even come close to something like the Prodrive Impreza STI 330s... they will need to be shaving 1.5 seconds off the 0-60 time and 11HP isn't going to do that even if the engine is half the weight.
Golfs have gone flabby and slow in their old age, this R32 looks quite pedestrian, although it sounds nice.
