r32s are lame. they have one outstanding feature that comes stock… and that’s an outstanding exhaust tone. but then again, who doesn’t mod their car anyways… and i agree with joe actually, the car looks like doo compared to the one from …2004? ---

The MKV R32 is faster than the MKIV, but I’d still rather have the MKIV. 6MT and nicer looking \> a little faster IMO. ---
