I TRIED A R32 TODAY
I went to my Local (ex)scooby garage today and Tried out a R32.
After driving it I was quite impressed with the handling, felt very stable, firm but still very comfortable
I have some questions from you knowledgable chaps
I did find the car lacking in performance (I did expect more power) is there anything that can be done about that, is there a VW equivelent to PPP ?
If it did have 20% more power I would consider it .
Would increasing the power turn it into a dangerous pig? (Due to being a short wheelbase)

You need to go here

a lot of R32's on here now, some modded up to 300bhp, very helpful.

Yeah I read that in the evo test, apart from that they love it....
Also a chip will give you about 15% more power, tyre smoke defo the best place to go, lots of rich city boys with lots of money to spend on **** hot cars!
Bit too many Audi obssessives on there for my liking..

Robdon,
I think I'd have been VERY impressed with that but sadly not going to be 
Russ,
The Type 'C' with a 2.5ltr and only £1K more than the T25 and my wife will be happier with a 4 door and a boot, much better for Tesco's shopping. Coming to Japfest I have booked a couple of laps and will have a pootle around CC
