Sold Evo Bought R32

Well Sorry guys I sold the Evo. The evo is a great car, but i have to say after driving the r32 for about 2 weeks now I just flat out like the r32 more. If i really could have my way I would have kept the evo and tuned it like crazy and bought the r32 as the daily. What the r32 lacks in power everything else it makes up for plus some. I think it handles just as good and probably would for sure if it had the same tires. I also kinda like the fact that the r32 is very rare. Just seeing if theres anyone else who feels the same or completely disagrees.

I also got a 100,000 mile warrenty good till December 2010, the r 32 had 18,000 miles on it. The warrenty was up on my evo in 3000 miles.

I've never driven an r32, but I love the way it looks. Post some pics up when you get the chance I don't ever think I could give up my Evo though....

R32 is definitely a cool car, the rarity pulls me in a tad too. Resale value should be good at anytime Glad you enjoy the car! Too bad the evo wasnt for u.

R32's are stupid IMO, they are heavy as **** for a 2 door. Enjoy your new car.

<- Former MKIV VW guy, Love the R32 and the fit and finish is top notch. to german engineering, there is soo much attention to detail and build once you start tearing the car apart Problem is HP Gains will cost you alot more and the cars are soo damm fineky to tune. Good luck with everything.

R32s are nice cars. Far better choice for a DD than an evo.
