I like it but i think its too pricy…IMO you can get a lot more for $30K (luxury or performance) EVO STi 3 series 9-3 A4 TL etc… I’m not knocking VW but i’d take an EVO or 3 series over a R32 ---

I understand that it has limited production so that makes it la little more pricy…but still if they dropped it to like 25-27K:bigthumb: ---

evo, sti interior does not come close to the VW’s interior. thats the big factor for me. the price isn’t so bad when you start to consider what all the car offers. just jumping in and feeling how the seats hug and how it handles in the bends. good enough for me ---

> _Originally posted by Blue_ > **I drove a red one** :bsflag: hehe… anyway I M O… since they came out with the AWD… they should of backed it up with some kind of FORCED INDUCTION… just my opinion though… i stopped and looked at one… they look pimp… i heard they make a turbo kit for it for 20k… lol… at least thats what rob was telling me.

> _Originally posted by JeffWels_ > **you need to drive an evo if you like seats that hug and a car that corners on rails 😃** no offense… i just think the car looks cheaply built… i like the car and the way it performs just think they skimped on the quality aspect. VW has really only the TDI and the 1.8T which was just introduced in 1999.5. and IMO the 1.8T engine was a flop… VW is not to big into the FI scene ---

On the other hand the seats are far above par, as well as the cornering ability. there was a kid with a brand new silver R32 at beaverun this past lapping day. It was a very nice car. I didn’t get to run in his same group because it was his first time out but i’m sure it performs well on track. The only thing I don’t like is the R in all the seats… then again my car has a giant carbon wing from the factory 😃 EDIT: just wanted to add that the only place the evo is lacking is in the dash. I believe everything else on the car was built very well for what it is. 😃 ---
