The VW Golf R32 deserves better than looking like it was spotted by Bigfoot on a cloudy day.

This car is amazing to live with on a day to day basis. Very comfortable, easy to drive, and the grip in the dry and wet is insane. But what really sold it to me was the noise... no other hatchback sounds anything like this car! Great car, great noise to listen to, so happy I bought one

ive owned both mk4 and mk5 ,i have to be honest i liked the mk4 more, it felt so much more fun, and the mk4 felt faster to.ive just got rid of the mk5 i got bored of its looks

The Golf V R32 is a fast car.
It´s heavy but 0-100 kph in 6s is with the dsg and launch-control.
The Focus RS with 305 hp turbo-engine is not much faster and even at the TopGear-Test Track only 1 second faster.
But the sound is godlike.
