It may not be as fast, but the styling is better than both the EVO and the STI.

I'm really liking the R32 the more i look at it and hear more good opinions on it. I love my boyfriends GTi, but he's selling it soon. I know that's one car I will miss. Just because it's so fun to RIDE in.

Anyway, hope you have a great time with it I wish I could trade in my O-Z for one.

I really like the R32. Reminds me of a GTi-R.
I say we carbon fiber the whole thing and add a twin turbo to it.I wonder how fast it would be after that.
j/k

I just checked www.kbb.com and the R32's are $30k !!!!!! Wow, I didn't know they were so much for that little amount of power......definitely a cool car but I wouldn't pay any more for one than I would a regular WRX. $500 on a stock Rex should take that R32 with relative ease.....I wonder why they cost so much? For that $$$ I'd go EVO/STI first no question.

R32 = very sweet but WAY overpriced

for everyone who asked.. i got it for MSRP from Danbury VW in Danbury CT. They are a great dealership, very easy to work with, and very nice people! Plus and awesome service department! They do have one more R32 left, its the blue. So if anyone's interested give my salesman a call:

Mark Ward-Willis
Danbury VW
203.744.5200 ext:971

MSRP is $29,100 + destination charge.

It is a little pricy, but i think its well worth it. The car is absolutly beautiful. Im in love with the interior, much nicer then my OZ.

The car is totally different from an Evo or Lancer, its much smoother, and quieter. Feels like im in an Audi.

If anyone has read AutoWeeks review on this car, i have to agree with them. The Evo and STi are two awesome cars, and they are faster then the R32, but the R32 is more of a daily driving car, its all together just a nicer ride, in my opinion at least.

As of right now I dont plan on doing too much to it. Im installing a short shifter as soon as i get some extra $$, and maybe a cold air intake, but thats about it for now. Im gonna wait a while to see what else becomes available for it, cuz right now there really isnt too much. I will keep ya'll updated on my progress.

R32's are nice, to bad they look like everyother GTI out there. Most people will not know what it is and that can be a + or a - depending on how you look at.

I don't recommend a limo tinton the front window (or any windows), ricer wheels, or the low-rider drop.

Why dont you keep your opinion to yourself... especially if it's disrespectful. It's a photoshop so dont get all offensive about it... who said those wheels are rice and that drop is a low rider drop. Also realistic tinting is hard to do with a ****ing computer program. Hell it's only dropped 2 inches or so, it's not slammed to the ground. So before you open your mouth like that please put a lil bit of thought into what you are saying.

Yeah, the R32 pulls off the "boxy car" look so much better . Personally, I've always loved hatchbacks. Nice car. Need to post interior pics .
