Too expensive for what you get. Plus haldex is a major skip.
It's a fun car to drive, but not one that *I* would want to own. A bit slow, a bit too diluted, and the MKIV is...not the best platform for a sporty car.

well you are gonna have drive train loss on any AWD car, just like our quattros, you cant have it...
both ways. I love the looks of the r32, although i havent driven one i am planning on it very soon. I love the idea of a 240+HP sporty AWD car that is comfortable enough and reliable enough(NO forced induction)to drive to work everyday, and take to the track on weekends. Great car IMO.
I probably wouldnt buy a new one though, wait a few months and you will see a few pop up in local autotraders, infact i saw one in mine the other day, had 1200 miles for $28999, nice savings over new.
