Default Golf R32 - opinions?

Considering buying an R32 Golf!

Just been to look at a Black example that was really nice and i can see me enjoying it for a while.

just wondered if anyone has any knowledge of these or know of anything thats worth keeping an eye open for on them?

The new Golf gti is much better if your after a golf and id prefer a nice BMW for a cruiser.
Good car but doesnt excel at anything!

Soon as the guy at work stops fobbing me off I hope to prove they're not as quick as a tuned RST either

They are lovelly cars though and are built very well. Like all modern Golfs though they are a bit lardy.

New GTi seems to have been received very well. Thought about looking at one of those?

Not really, just the R32 seems to have caught my eye so far and it was very nice to drive, even tho they seem to be still holding a fairly high price!

I have one at the moment. Didnt like it to start with, thought it was slow and bulky. Realy like it now though, sounds awesome with a quick 'exhaust mod', very quiet and sturdy at 120+ handles very predictably and with traction off power slides well. Brakes are good but soon fade when realy pushed due to weight of car. Very comfortable inside but front seats are too big (3dr car) as when u lift them to get in back they foul the roof and get stuck! Had no problems at all (at 23k now). Best of all it starts every morning and doesnt need the engine bay checking over before each outing (ala s2!). Go for it. Mines for sale if u fancy a deep blue 3dr? Only selling as i want an evo 6 rs more than you can begin to imagine. HTH.
