    Me? Never! Was just this once.





















    We should have gotten the Navi and Moonroof, did not know the push start would not be an option
    without those



    I did not like 3300 rpm at 80mph.
    The turbo does feel laggy to me, and I hear the intake more than the motor.

    This should fix some issues.

    Yeah, 1st thing is tint, then tune.

    This car feels light and stable, but still feels like weak sauce.

    I will keep the R32 if wife can learn how to drive a manual well and fast or it's an A3 TDI by months end.

    You would think that after everyone b*tched about the sound tube that VW would have learned something.
    Apparently, they have not.

    You made a wise move in the correct direction. My new R is just sitting there, since Sunday
    after taking those pic's around 3-4pm, and have not driven her since. Now I am daily'n the r32
    to work, and love it. I work only 11 miles away, and it's mainly highway, so not biggie.

    I regret my decission, but I blame the wife, she wanted the R, not me...

    Bye babies
    5 spd ALH TDI Golf FTMFW, but the green was an auto, which I could not get more than 40mpg's with. My 2001 ALH 5 spd frequently got over 50mpg's
