Golf R32...how slow???!!!
Just had some fun with a Golf R32 on a PRIVATE dual carriageway with a few bends.I was in my Legacy Spec B ST and made it look very slow indeed.I thought they would have been faster and also he was useless around the bends.
Anyone know much or ever driven a Golf R32? |

Sub,
I would google this and see what performance figures are quoted for the R32. AFAIK its an NA engine so I would expect its characteristics to be different to a turbo engine. I do think they are over hyped though, IMO. Yes, agree with one of the posters on here, you will get slaughtered by the moral right on here in a minute for having fun on a PRIVATE dual carriageway.

Ive heard good things about these.
Do you think maybe he might have just been taking it easy, due to the fact it was on a (private) road. |

They're not all they're cracked up to be in the performance stakes, but they are nice cars. The seats alone make the car worth having.

Anyone know much or ever driven a Golf R32? I have owned an r32 for about three months and had to sell it due to losing my job, I disagree with your race he mustnt have been trying I had 160mph out of my (standard)r32 I have now got a wrx 51 plate and lucky to get 140 from it,when I had my r I used to enjoy off the mark races with scoobs and if I could afford another r32 I would swap the wrx without even thinking twice. my advice to you would be to find a dealer that has one pretend to be interested in it and take it for a test drive you wont be dissapointed,out of the cars i have ever owned I honestly think the scoob is very overrated in all departments you might want to have a look on tyresmoke.net and look at some of the r32 posts on there.you also didnt mention wether your car is standard or not. sorry but that is just my opinion |
only thing i would say to that agdodds, is that you are talking about the cream of the performance volkswagons, and your comparing it to a wrx, which no offence, but is not the cream of the subaru range. without wanting to sound offensive, maybe its you that should go to a subaru dealers and test drive the sti with ppp!!. may give a bit more of a closer comparison.

My mate used to have a r32, your right guys it did look mean as! BUT in my P1 i used to run circles around it!!! lol i'd show you the videos but it won't let me post a link for some reason!! needless to say he now has a wr1 and not looked back! However why o why have they put 4 doors on the wr1!!!!! should be 2 and i don't care for the colour!! They should have kept the trend with sonic blue!! Also does anyone else have a wr1 on here i was really dissappointed with the handling it understeers like a mofo! |
I've had an R32 and now own a STI PPP.
Personally, I much prefer the STI and would say that it feels much quicker (but then it should be). However,the low down grunt of the R was awesome and made it effortless (and mechanically sympathetic) to get very quick getaways! |

Funny this thread should come up. I had one driving like an utter pr!ck behind me the other day, thought it was a GTi with a kit first but then saw the R32 badge.
Thing is, I was in my totally standard S14a 200SX, and the R32 was no faster at all, he was well annoyed. I'd get the initial gap, then he'd never pull it back and only did when he started breaking the speed limit when I wasn't and driving a metre off my boot, weaving about etc.... So I just stopped :p He was giving it all the mouth, signs, beeping, going bright red with anger etc, getting soooooo wound up - can't understand people like that, complete fool. Was overall very underwhelmed with the car and its lack of pace, soon be slaying them with a few choice mods sitting in my garage :D |
The R32 has sooooooooo much of a better image than the chav charriot scoob, not to mention the soooooo much better build quality etc.
|
R32's are over priced for what they are and not super fast. Personally i'd buy a V5 golf for less money and not a great deal less performance
