I have driven bot 2008 GTI and own a 2008 R32 by far the R32 is a better car however I used to own a 2004 R32 and it is in my opinion a better “race car” than the 2008 R32. With the gear ratios in the 08 you no longer feel the torque and sunk into the seats as before in the 04.

I went on a canyon run recently with some MKV GTis and r32s and took note of some disappointed R32 drivers that couldn’t shed the “lesser” GTis through the twisties.

I owned the original GTI “pocket rocket” in the 80’s. It was a revolution in small cars, and created ripples throughout the automotive universe. Today, I own a 2008 r32. It feels like it was forged from a solid chunk of billet, (unlike the “beer can” feel of my former Subaru WRX). Glove soft leather interior, all the latest safety technology, plenty of all wheel drive performance, and the practicality and roominess of a hatch. Is it a $30k plus auto? Maybe not for you – especially if you live in the “0-60; quarter mile” universe. But for an old GTI hot hatch man like myself, I can’t think of anything better. Its the natural evolution of what I owned over 20 years ago.

I have an ‘07 GTI, but have yet to drive the R32.

I can say that my local dealer, Harper VW in Knoxville, TN, has a number of R32s sitting on the lot. And they’ve been there since the release a few months ago.
