i was thinking of picking up a GTI, the r32 would be a good step up.

for those who has picked up one recently, please post how much you paid and options/mileage/etc.

if you don't want to post then, please just PM me.

thanks!

 

It's a perfect DD. Great engine, decent m.p.g., AWD, handles well, quality interior, fun to drive. Mine is United Grey, has 18k miles, navigation, tint, 3M bra, gorilla rack, paid $22.5k. Only comes in DSG transmission (manual/paddleshift-auto), unfortunately no six speed available.

 

My cousin got one in Candy white, hes only had it for about 2 months and he already has a Eurojet Exhaust and a GIAC Ecu-Reflash. (I helped him with the exhaust installation =P)

 

Wow you got a good deal! I agree, VW should also offer 6 speed tranny.

 

Mine's a DD as well! I love it and it sounds so good to boot!

 

Have had mine for 6 months and it's pretty fun to drive! Candy White, non-nav, paid $29,500 -

 

I picked mine up with 3500 miles with no navigation for $25K out the door.

 

thanks guys, i think i would like the navi.

 

Honestly, the navi SUCKS! Very confusing, not user friendly, not touch screen, music sounds crappy, and slow to react.

If I had to do it all over again, I would go standard radio, then upgrade to an aftermarket navi/stereo.

 

can it be worse than Porsche's navi?
maybe i should listen and get aftermarket. Probably more bang 4 my backs.

thanks!

 

Stock US Navi is worthless! Either get the factory RNS510 or go aftermarket.

 

get it without nav and then buy the 2009 vw nav which is touch screen. that nav is sooo much better than the 2008 model.

 

Replacing my DD 2007 A4 2.0T with this new arrival. Just over 10K miles, Navi and a bunch of other goodies.



After a 2000 mile journey...bit dirty.

 

Congratulations on the R32!

 

Do you know if the new nav will "plug & play" if you have the older unit?
