08 R32 #2711 Red
I have been following these since 07. I was very close to purchasing when they came out, but decided I needed my Chevy Avalanche more.
Recently, my Chevy decided it needed a new engine. With gas prices, I told myself the next car would be better on gas. So I started looking at used cars and found this guy with only 17k miles. Compared to the Avalanche, the R32 is a gas miser
though it seems like the R32 only takes about 12 gallons of gas to fill up. It could use a bigger tank.
I knew the R20 was on its way, but having had a WRX, I wanted a car with raw unassisted power. I love the DSG transmission, it's quick and smooth. And the sound of it downshifting in sport mode when you come to a stop is just beautiful. It's a little buggy in reverse and initial take off, takes getting used to it.
After having it for a few days, I noticed a few things that needed fixing. All covered by warranty.
- weather temp sensor was 10 degrees higher than outside temp.
- lumbar support was out on both seats.
- cruse control stick had to be replaced
- headlights pointed down, adjusted.
The car has had all recalls taken care of. I am very pleased with the R32. The attention to detail and function are very nice. I discover new things every day that only increase my admiration of the craftsmanship.
