My new ride

well, it's my wifes but I'm the primary. hehe
I never liked the jetta til I saw this one
Think of it as a FWD 1.8T R32
It's a kick to drive, awesome low-midrange, but seems to fall on it's face after about 4k(probably mapping) plus the 6 speed is like butter.
I'll post better pics later

Yeah, it shares the same wheels, tires, suspension and tranny though.
I almost had her talked into buying the r32 but she hates hatches.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. It's starting to grow on me though.

Looks nice... were you worried about VW reliability?

Yeah, I am now after reading a few consumer reports. We bought the extended warrenty thought, hopefully she'll find something else before then.

i saw a black one of those in my area. i think it looks fricking sweet, totally diggin the entire look of the car, but then again ive always had a soft spot for vw's and audis.

q, is 2004 the only and last year for the r32? i couldnt find an 05 r32 on vw's website.
