If you include the new Mk5 in this thread...be prepared for 500 responses of:
1) it does 0-60 wayyyy tooo slow
2) DSG is huge mistake; this car should only have a manual
3) Why not 280-300 hp?
4) I could buy an EVO for the same price

That should cover it! And yes...there's a whole forum dedicated to them...

I don't appreciate it because it's more expensive and performs worse then it's competition. Does sound nice though.

only slightly true.. however because MKIV's are not [truly] VW's.

In turn, R32's are not VW's...

Don't forget the "it's actually a fun capable car, in an 'emm-kay four' body paradox".

Is it safer? Discuss

Must be why you drive a contour.

I have a passing interest in the MkV R32, though there are simply too many good cars now for me to seriously consider it this time around. Though unlike what seems like everyone here, I still think it's a great package.

"Come on people! Do you know what you get when you use a flame thrower on a zombie? Freakin' flaming zombies. And if theres anything that sucks more than a zombie trying to eat you, its a zombie on fire trying to eat you."

The Contour SVT is a lot like a MkIII Jetta GLX, except it doesn't suck.

So it's an old photo but always seems to be a forum fave.

92 passat wagon. so euro its hood.(daily)
83 Gti...it wants to be a racecar. (project)
93 nissan pathfinder v6 (winterrrrrrrrr)

Pfft thats what you think!

LMAO!!! I wonder if we can get Jamie to actually "allow" that? UUhhhmmmmm...no, it's not gonna happen...but it would be funny as a gag for a few days.

Ohh....and back to the OP-- There's a whole forum for R32 love...in fact there are two of them....one for the MK IV and one for the MK V. You'll have more luck in there.

I like my cars like I like my women...exotic, imported and fun to "drive".

Vr6's should sound like chewbaca getting raped.

Please, were just not overly crazy fan boys as some are. I love VWs. I HATE MKIVs.

We actually realize that VW can, and has done wrong. Some people are just blind followers.

There are two types of people in the world, those who need closure

take that 17yr-old-handi-acura!

It's not that, it's that we have about 40% membership from VWVortex, and the other 60% get a bit tired of the VW-centric sentiment. They compensate by being hyper-critical of VW.

So you see about 40% of folks pouring on the praise, and 60% exaggerating the flaws.

For proof - look how many times VWs win Polls. That's because 40% of the CL members will vote on a VW no matter what. When the other 60% of votes are divided up among the STI, EVO, MazdaSpeed3, and SRT-4s of the world, the R32 will win every time.

Even if the poll ask which is most reliable!

^^lol

I just don't like how if anyone wants to discuss any kind of VW here the moderators move the threads to the other forums. People could just as well discuss getting their new miata or BMW somewhere else too.

My grandmother got clipped by a semi, crossed four lanes, hit a barrier, and got slammed into by oncoming traffic. Her MkIV Jetta was totaled, and she walked away relatively fine (except for being a little sore).

The R32 gets a pass because I like the way it sounds.

I'd rather push my VW then drive a Honda!

The Toyota Prius is not a car, its a toaster/vacuum on wheels.
