I'M ONE OF THE 5000 LUCKY ONES WHO KOWS WHAT THE VW R32 IS. IN 2002 I BOUGHT A NEW 1.8T JETTA. I WAS SOLD ON THE TEST DRIVE. THAN IN 2004 THE R32 WAS BORN.I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO MY LITTLE 1.8. FOR THE MONEY THE R 32 IS THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE VEHICLE OUT THERE. I TRIED TO SLIDE ON A WET ASPHALT SURFACE WHILE THE G-FORCE SIDEWAYS HAD ME PLANTED INTO THE WRAPAROUND SEAT AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO LET GO. DRY ASPHALT, DONT BE AFRAID THIS CAR WILL TAKE THE TURNS. EVO AND STI MIGHT WIN IN A DRAG RACE BUT THESE CARS ARE BUILT TO HANDLE AND WILL LOSE ON A TRACK WITH TURNS AGAINST VW'S R32. IF YOU LIKE A CAR THAT HOLDS YOU AS WELL AS IT HOLDS THE ROAD AND IS ABLE TO STOP ON A DIME DON'T HESITATE TO BUY THE R 32 IF YOU CAN FIND ONE.......
