I would imaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagine Shawn has exactly 0 experience w/ R32’s. I owned an 04 for a long while stock then modded it piece by piece…only ever problem w/ an evap. control module. No big deal. Emissions bs. New R32’s have not had any problems…period. None reported to me to my customers. None reported to our service department. None noted on VWVortex. I’m curious to know what I’m missing. Shawn? ---

Nah, my car has alloys on it. I live in Colonie still. I needed a dependable car for work. I’ll get another Volkswagen once I get settled into my house. I’ve gotta put the priorities first before I go getting another toy. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/guy-in-the-new-r32-vw-on-rt-7/235950.md?page=2)
