I am an SRT-4 driver and I have run into some snooty r32 drivers myself. My buddy owns and swears by VW's and I can tell you that superior fit and finish is a lie. Sure it may look like eye candy to a dash molester, but the interior rattles, and doesnt hold up well to alot of use. One day he was preashing to me and my friends about the superior fit and finish of vw's at a buddy's house and as he was rolling his window down it fell off track somehow at about 1/3 of the way down and smashed inside of the door......talk about funny.

For it being such a refined driving machine is sure does transfers alot of transmission noise back into the cabin of the car.

Lastly.... you dont buy Evo's, STi', or SRT's because they are refined driving machines... you buy them for their performance....... which the R32 isnt exacly crappy in that department.... its not up to the level of our cars. Apples to Oranges.... R32 is the compromise between performance nad refinitement, where we are all out performance. Now if we were to hold the R32 to our spectrum's standards... its a POS 30k 14 second wheezy VW...but since most of us realize its not in our spectrum... we dont say that.

 

dunno if anyone saw this month's "eurosport" mag but it had a VW golf shootout. HSA (?) won it with its twin-turbo R32 making over 400 whp. mid-12's. very sweet car, but loads of $$$.

 

also dunno if anyone saw the latest car and driver, they reviewed the R32 and in the article it said that if the R32 was available during the STi vs Evo shoot out, the R32 would've won???

That's whacked, i'm not going to read car and driver anymore.

Watch your mouth with the "Jewed" comment...definately not neccessary

 

If it was deamed a bad word it should come up ***ed.. But it doesn't.

So I thought, is it in the dictionary??

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.

jew

PRONUNCIATION:
joo
TRANSITIVE VERB:
Inflected forms: jewed, jew·ing, jews
1. To bargain shrewdly or unfairly with. Often used with down. 2. To haggle so as to reduce (a price). Often used with down.
ETYMOLOGY:
From Jews' supposedly extortionate practices as moneylenders in the Middle Ages.

Relax man! Sheesh. No one pointed at you. I don't support the comment, but this isn't grammer/religion class either. When someone says for christ sakes I don't get all bent outta shape.

Personally, I think the R32 isn't too bad, if it's what you are after. It's a nice "looking" car with some minimal performance and high price. Not what I was after, but there is obviously a market for it. They are selling.

 

What in the hell would posses a person who chooses a compromise between speed and luxury in the 35k range to pick the R32 over the G35??? I used to own a GTI. POS.

 

Still looks like a golf 2 me
i cant ever see myself liking european cars.. unless its a benz, Bmw, Or audi TT coupe

 

They learn real quick who's got the better car when they get burned.

 

I used to have a b5 s4. Loved it to death. I had about $7k in mods. I test drove an abused test mule evo at a local dealership. I went back and test drove an R32. There's a reason my signature is as it is.

 

Just STFU loser no one wants to hear your biatching...


I agree with everything you said cept one thing... you said "our cars" and you drive a SRT-4 which also run 14's like the R32 the main advantage you have is you paid about 10k less.

 

you realize, of course, the word "nig*ger" is in some dictionaries as well. using the term to define blacks or actions that blacks are stereotyped for would be inappropriate. calling other members "losers" is also against the policies at evom... (i know, i got a warning for something very similar)

and the srt-4 is definitely a faster car than the r32. i'm sure what he meant by "our," is that the sti, evo, srt-4 are purpose-built cars for performance and not by 1/4 mile times.

edit: i meant purpose built cars for performance, not comfort.

Bro, It's a good thing you don't live in New Jersey.

I wasn't so rediculously offended when you made the jew comment...just letting you know it wasn't neccessary...but you definatley sholdn't get arrogant and be telling people to STFU.

 

Amen.....
