2008 Volkswagen R32

AWD and HP make it a kick to drive

By Robbie (WA) on Wednesday, April 04, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 34,000

Pros: "Stealthy, Fast, Fun, Great Handling and Practical"

Cons: "The back seat access is tight in the 2 door"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"With the 3.2 V-6 reviewers suggest it feels nose heavy but this makes it an excellent long range highway cruiser. Car feels larger than it is on the road let is compact and maneuverable in the city. I had some trouble with the DSG and hesitant shifting but it was fixed by the dealer under warranty with no trouble. Beautiful interior, I sometimes wish it had the easy access of four doors (mine's only two doors). All wheel drive makes it great in the snow and wet. Good all season tires help. Back seat is surprisingly comfortable. Mileage isn't great...19-20 in town and mid 20's on the highway albeit averaging 75 ."

Luxury Pocket Rocket

By RockChalk (KS) on Monday, March 26, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 38,000

Pros: "Great interior, always fun on the road."

Cons: "DSG clunky, no 6 speed manual"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"This car is always a joy to be in, and is awesome in slick conditions. Passengers are always surprised by how refined the interior is, and I am always pleased at how much fun it is to blast down the road. The German build quality is rock solid. For a real-world, adult sport compact, there isn't a better choice."

Great Car!

By Greg G (AZ) on Monday, May 02, 2011

"Once the recall for the fuel system was fixed which was two visits to the dealership, the car was excellent! Handles great, looks great, fast and comfortable to drive. Also will get much attention from all ages when parked. The problem you will have though is everyone will want to race you, especially the Subaru guys! Enjoy the car!!"
