.:R32 in stock!

Finally, the .:R32 is here, unwrapped, detailed and on the showroom floor. I didn't realize how beautiful the instrument cluster is on the .:R. The car has automatic headlights and the needles glow blue while the main gauges are white. The European seats would have been a huge plus but personally visiting with all kinds of customer shapes and sizes I see why VW put the GTI seats in there. The 18"s are a bit blah for me and like most owners there will be a quick wheel swap. I would rather see some deep lip BBS style wheels on. The front brakes are huge. Of all things the headlight washers, (activates when you wash the windshield) are impressive.



In the short drive I took the low rumble of the engine and exhaust is a true delight. The car came off the truck with 36 miles. I thought that was strange but the regional sales rep says that the car was most likely pulled and tested by a tech along the way.

Some .:R32s had a front license plate bracket installed at the port of Houston for the central states. If your state does not require one, VW will replace the front brushed aluminum bumper cover.

Overall I predict the car will be a success. I mean the potential is there to add a turbo or two (hpa, eip, apr or whatever your flavor is) and you're right up there in exotic territory. You can drive the car base for a few years and then mod for a few more years of enjoyment.
