View Full Version : VW Golf R32 article in Autoexpress
Anyone seen the review of this new VW Golf in the latest Autoexpress (14-20 Aug).
R32 on sale in October, priced at £22,340, only 500 to be sold in UK.
Powered by a 241bhp 3.2 litre V6, sprints from 0-60mph in 6.6 secs, top speed of 153mph.
Interesting article, haven't read it all yet however, will try and scan it in and post it on my website, can't get through my company firewall to it - argghhh !
Looks quite interesting but I'm more of a raw power person myself and I'd prefer to pay 15k for my 210bhp Ibiza which does 0-60 in 6.1 seconds than pay 22k. I think VW are going in the right direction though. 240bhp from a 3.2 litre engine though isn't that great, I wonder if this is the same engine (minus the turbo of course) as the new 3.2 litre Turbo engine going into the new TT which has 350bhp?
Cheers

Big lardy golf - again. But how much???? Dunno about you but i could definitely find better things for 23 odd grand :)
Wonder what the true cost comes out like when you add-in the options list... eeeek

Hmm..
TT getting a bi-turbo motor? V6?
Might be the VR based one but could be the S4 V6 one which is already bi-turbo....
Wonder if they fit into the engine bay :p
