Golf R32

jamiec · Mar 12, 2007

After much debate over what car to get I finally decided on the golf. Picked it up last Wednesday and loving it so far. The power is awesome and the noise is special.

Trophy was a close second but the golf managed to win

Little sunlight to show any cleaning done but for those interested it was washed with megs nxt, polished with autoglym super resin and sealed with megs #21. All done quickly as the rain was coming

Comments welcome, apart from Steve telling me how fat and slow it is :lol:

To do list:
40k mile service
Road tax
Leather treated
Some sort of cd/ dvd changer as I can't play cd's just now!
Wheels refurbed

Cheers

wheel refurb in anthracite?

very nice cars..... a little more, how shall i say... 'grown up' perhaps than a Trophy? I'd still have one though

Looks good, like the seats. See that your nav pinpoints where on the coast you are.

Looks shiny!

How does the 4wd system work on the R32 - is it FWD biased?

Not sure exactley although I've heard people talking about a haldex 4wd diff?

All I know is it is virtually impossible to spin the wheels

Looks very nice Jamie, hope you enjoy it and the noise! What is the fuel consumption like?

The pre-owner must have farting 1'000'000 times, so is the seat looking :roll:

lol, nice car, any plans to put it on a diet for the future - will help the fuel economy and improve performance

It's a bit fat and slow. :lol:

No, really lovely car, lovely noise, my old boss had a V6 4motion and it cornered superbly and had a lovely power delivery and that was with a 200bhp 2.9 V6. A lot comfier than a Trophy that's for sure. I was overtaken by four cars on my way back from Wales, they were a Carrera S, a Lotus Elise S1 111R, an Alfa 147 GTA and a MK V R32. They all sounded awesome but the R32 was my favourite and looked pretty solid at 140mph!
