My VW MkV R32

Had this car coming up to 4 years now, and am due to change it this June. Have loved owning this car but have had a lot of problems with it, notably crack in the engine block and 2 failed cylinders for over 2 years which VW were to incompetent to find - luckily they did eventually. I don't drive it that much and try to keep it in very good condition.

This is the 2nd car I've owned and am looking forward to getting something with a bit more power.



















Thanks!

That number plate must've cost a mint! It's a beautiful car. Why not go for a Golf R?

In all honesty, a car like the R32/GTI/Golf R are all you need. Anything more is a recipe for tickets, high insurance, etc. I wish I didn't have the bug for an RS5 and Cayman Clubsport so bad, otherwise I'd just stick to my GTI and enjoy it.

Good luck with whatever's next!

Thank you! Numberplate was only about £750, is actually just D7 and my initials. Golf R is nice but have had such experience with VW I would never buy one again. Plus the fact a Golf R with the same spec as my R32 is around £40k or $64k - doesn't really reflect value for money.

I have my eye on an R8 or GTR but I'll have to wait and see when the time comes.

nice car great sounding V6 but a littele underpowered, you need a turbo and at least 400hp. Perfect everyday car.

This Holset is on my friends 2.9 corrado.
