on another note, VW's customer service is only second to Mitsubishi's in the SUCK *** department...man their warranty and customer service suck!!! When i was a regular member of Vortex when I had my 03 GLS there were just as many "warranty voided" threads over there as there are here...and their parts dept knows nothing...I called right when the new GLI came out wanting a price on the sideskirts and rear lip...the guy said VW doesnt make an 04 GLI and VW doesnt have any cars with bodykits...i about shat myself

Good one above, but I don’t know why some people say VW service sux??


I had 5 VWs in total and I had top notch service even when I had a K04 installed!!!
No dealer knows what they are talking about for any car manufacture but their customer service was great with me. My father Passat has something 90K on it with no issues at all. I had an MK2 with 190K with no problems!!!.

Please don’t compare mitsu**** service to VW

I think their quality is very hit or miss, and when they miss - they miss badly. I do think the GTi and R32 are good looking cars, but I don't want one.

Pretty nifty for a heavy FWD, even though there was a staggering investment made and the car converted to turbo.

I am not too fond of VW because of what I've witnessed selling used versions of them. May seem odd coming from a Mitsu guy and many people would dismiss my opinion as pot/kettle sort of thing, but I think their quality is very hit or miss, and when they miss - they miss badly. I do think the GTi and R32 are good looking cars, but I don't want one.

Yes it was, a 4 door car......but man did he ever wooooopppp on that R32. Holy stink....... I still can't get over that....... Hahahahaha

could have been a modded Grand National, in that case it would have smashed the R32.

No such thing as a 4-door GN with factory "supercharged" lettering on the back.

I know you can make any car/truck/mini van go fast. Faster then any sports car out there. I'm not saying the R32 is the fastest car on earth. I know the EVO beats a lot of cars on the road. Did I hear right that the MR will beat a new Porsche 997 Carrera? Even though it's quicker, I would still take the 997. There are a lot of great cars out there EVO, STi, R32, I could go on and on. It's all about what you like the best and what suites you best.

It's funny, most of the fastest cars I see at the track are also the ugliest... the ones I'd be least likely to be caught dead in on the street

My Ex-Girlfriends RSX Type-S put down 225 Whp N/A with basic bolt-ons. If you look at horsepower per liter, that VW sucks.

Rsx 2.0 inline-4 225 whp
R32 3.2 V-6 331 Awhp
