Heh. Lots of hatches better then Holden/Ford IMO. Old R32... or the S3.. mm, wouldn't mind an S3.
And the new R32 looks hot. Only 10kW power gain though? Was expecting more.

I keep saying that my next car will be a VW Golf GTi. I dodnt even realise that they were gonna bring out an R32 in the latest shape! Looks like that is the one I'll empty my Bank account for.
However I reckon tht the outgoing R32 looked a bit Meaner and more potent, however the interior in this one is great! Hopefulyy they'll come to Oz. Love them! |

yeah not bad..but I would stick with the normal Gti I think. Should weigh a bit less to I would imagine.
The old R32 did look angrier.

They look pretty good and you'll certainly get a few chickies driving on of those. However, after seeing the "VW" taxis' in China, I wouldn't drive a VW. Audi A3 on the other hand..

The old car had a pricetag of $63,000. I guess you'd really have to be a VW fan to buy one.

when i seen "R32" i was thinking gtr power...
dunno why so many companies use the same combination of letters/numbers as other cars.... theres countless amounts of numbers out there and 26 letters, why not use some of the ones that dont get used much? |

I'd have to see it in the flesh, but I think the "old" (series IV?) R32 looks tougher. Mind you, there over-priced....(what does that make Audi then?)

3.2 litre straight Six. east-west i think.
the old Mk4 Golf R32 did 0-100 in 6.6 so a 3 tenth gain is actually quite good. |
