Pros: What do you like about 2008 Volkswagen R32?
All wheel drive and DSG are sweet.
Engine power and exhaust note add lots of smiles.
Exclusivity makes for lots of turned heads and positive comments at the gas station.
Interior excellant w/great ergonomics and seating-as good as any Audi.
Great handling and response and brakes would stop an 18 wheeler!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Volkswagen R32?
Air hammer when sunroof open is brutal-need to add an aftermarket deflector.
Being able to tilt out the sealed back windows would be a nice touch also.
Gas mileage averaging 20 mpg could be better-a 7th gear for highway cruising would help here.
Bluetooth feature does not work in US-not sure what needs to be done technically to rectify this.
A 4-door version would make it more convenient and negate the spouse concerns over only 2 doors.

2008 Volkswagen R32 Review:
Great handling and performance.
Mileage improving with every fill up as engine breaks in.
Excellent interior and cabin is quiet.
Love the individual climate controls and heated seats.
Flexible hatch/seating make it a useful hauler.
Backseat has more room than an A4.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Volkswagen R32?
Love the car and accellllleration, instant power fun and easy to drive fast a controlled. Brakes are supurbbbb..The trans paddles are great choosing to go down a gear or two is instant and painless, The interior has all kind of usable spaces and all is at hand with great ergos..a driver's car..got lots of head room I'm 6'2" and rarely fit well in some cars..feel "at home after just a few miles" looking forward to getting it to 100 K and beyond..

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Volkswagen R32?
Bluetooth??? Are we on a separate planet from the Germans...don't they know the market here?? Bluetooth dealer installed costs are in the sky.
Need a seventh gear or wider ratios for highway speeds.
Mirrors are a bit smallish.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Volkswagen R32?
Smooth power delivery, DSG, and AWD.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Volkswagen R32?
Needs an overdrive gear to improve MPG -- it certainly has enough power to lug around at lower RPMs.

2008 Volkswagen R32 Review:
Poor man's RS4. It's not perfect, but a better than most and more civlized than boy-racer STIs and EVOs.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Volkswagen R32?
I love the fact that it looks like any other VW Rabbit. The interior is fantastic. Acceleration and handling, are fantastic. Performance would be a 5 if it was less twitchy.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Volkswagen R32?
I would give it a little softer ride. It's smooth but has a high frequency vibration that is a little hard to get used to.

2008 Volkswagen R32 Review:
The VW R32 is a fantastic highway car. It tracks perfectly and corners on rails. On less than perfect raods, it handles well but is a little bit twitchy. The DSG transmission is great but it will take some time to get the feel of the manual mode. The interior is very nice. Seats are firm and supportive. Controls are easy to find and operate. The DVD/GPS/CD is intuitive to use. I am a bit concerned about how this car will deal with the winter. I may need some new tires/wheels.
