What kind of engine does a VW Golf R32 have?
The Wolfsburg-built R32 is, on paper, a nice bit of kit. Powered by the sweet little 3189cc 15-degree VR6 and driven with VW’s 4Motion AWD drivetrain, it’s good for 184kW at a stratospheric 6300rpm (redline is 6500rpm), and 320Nm of twist at a high-ish 4000-4500rpm.
Is the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 R32 a good car?
It’s a good miler masher, though its 18-inch wheel/tyre package is perceptively crashy on square-edge road joins. Coupled with the R32’s poise, beautifully resolved roll control and well-balanced springing and damping, it presents a great middle ground between racecar stiffness and real-world compliance.
Is the Volkswagen R32 still on sale in the US?
You already know the R32 is a buffed-up Golf. However, it’s not the Golf now on sale in Europe, the fifth-generation car. The foundation of the R32 is the previous generation, which is still on sale in the U.S. and will be for some time.
Is the steering wheel on a Volkswagen Golf R32?
The instruments are clear to read and easy to use (unique to the R32 are blue needles on the dials), although the multifunction trip computer, controlled by a button on the dashboard can take a little time to master. The steering wheel is similar to that on the GTI, with a flat bottom while DSG gearbox models add gearshift paddles.
