2004 Volkswagen R32 2 Dr AWD Hatchback Reviews
| “04 R32”
If this car had come with a decent diff in the front end and the complete waste of weight that is Haldex removed, I would probably still have it in my garage. If you need AWD to stay safe in the winter where you live Haldex would rock. If, however, you want a car that performs well on the track it's sooooo not the right choice. I can't count the number of times I set the inside front tire on fire because of the drive by wire not aloowing correct throttle modulation and the Haldex just giving up as soon as the front tire went into orbit. That little issue coupled with the problem VW has with their ABS system pretty mcuh locking you out of the braking system if you barely ratchet the ABS and then need to modulate the brakes made me decide that the R had to go.
Pros —
The noise!, The Steering Wheel, The Seats
Cons —
The factory tires, I don't know who got the kickback for putting those horrid things on a supposed performance car but I wish them at the very least a nasty flu. The AWD system is just useless for performance driving.

| “One Of The All-time Greatest Sports Cars!” It's like driving a race car around town, but it has enough manners and space to take on a long drive comfortably. Would like to see better 0-60, but the weight and Haldex hold it back. This car will be a real collectible.
Pros —
Porsche-level performance, Ferrari-level braking, More class than a rice rocket, Enough cargo space for a family of four with luggage.!
Cons —
0-60 could be much better! AWD is grippy but limiting.
