I like V-dubs too but I'd get the EVO.....VW has had some MAJOR quality issues lately that honestly would make me shy away.....VW's and Audi's both have probs.

If you want to get a damned golf get a farking GTi. R32s are so heavy it ain't funny :S But if that's what you want, then i'd trade it. (if given the opprotunity).

The r32 is a sled in the corners, it is way to front end heavy. it got poor reviews in europe compared to the 1.8t. Set it up for drag, it'd probably work out well after 5k or so. Compared to a lancer I don't know, compared to an evo, forget about it.

The R32 is not that heavy when compared with other AWD cars. At 3409 lbs it's only 149 lbs heavier than the EVO without sunroof. Add the sunroof and it's only 109 lbs. That's not that big of a difference considering the huge step up in interior quality.

I personally think it's a great car. I've always loved the GTI's and with added power and AWD, it can only get better.

i dunno.. i've really always loved Volkswagen, and i've always wanted one, plus their customer service is amazing..

also, i really LOVE modding, BUT, i cant afford to keep doing it.. its making me broke, so i need to get a car that's gonna be too expensive to mod so i wont do it
