  • I bought a MKV R32 which was only available in the 2008 year model and only 5,000 were made. This one is number 866/5000 and it is relatively stock and well preserved. The intent of this car is to become my daily driver in the winter time, but we all know how this is going to turn out.

    Some people complained they weren't fast enough but looking back we all wish the golf r sounded like this

      My Mk7 is right on the threshold of unusable power. 3-5 seconds in the power band and you’re in felony territory. The R32 is just so much fun to rev out around town, not very fast on the highway but that’s not what it was meant to do

      yup, makes me miss my MKIV R32.

      the problem was people tought this was more of a performace car rather than a tourer , thats the reason they stoped making them and focused on the 4 bangers

      Cars in modern market currently have a higher threshold for power. I should compare this to 2008 versions of other vehicles to see if it really 'slow'.. I've had 2 mkv r32. Driving a stock one is as fun as the turbo build with 417whp. Just a visceral direct experience. Feels better than alot of the other cars I've gotten to drive.

    I've had my white one for 7 years now and it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. And often on others' faces too - I get stopped and asked about it often. Service guys and tire shops ask me if I'd ever consider selling it. Good call on it being a future classic! I always turn my head when I hear another in the area.

    #4355 full engine rebuild with HPA air to water intake manifold, garret gt35r turbo, 3" downpipe, high flow sport cat, stock exhaust, kw v3 coilovers, various supporting parts upgraded. HPA stage 2 dsg tune with a stage 4 haldex tune, hpa sport clutch pack...Love it. I do drive it alot. Not into buying cars to stand and look at them.

    I love 2 door GOLF's. It's why I can't bring myself to part with my 2015 MK7 GTI... I've owned 4 Golf's, all 2 doors. Between 2001 and 2015. I wish they would still make the R in 2 door. ugh.

    3069, bought it during August of 2020 so far it's been good the only issue was the mechatronic and shifter solenoid going out at the same time. I like mine it's a lot of fun gets a lot of hate though because it's a DSG and not a Mk4 lol but before it I had a 6-Speed GLI VR6.
