    THE Golf R. The MkIV was the last of the classic Golfs. I had a GTI (1999) and boy did I love that car. It was just the perfect city companion for a young man in his early 20's. That car became part of my identity. I'd love to pick up a Golf R like this one but all the ones I'm finding online are quite beat up or high miles.

    I owned a 2003 for 12 years from new before I reluctantly sold it, even so I managed to get 50% of its purchase value back at that point as well. What I will say which is pretty amazing is that a stock version of this did a 8.37s lap of the Nordschleife and bearing in mind this car is 20 years old its actually only 9% slower than the fastest modern mk8+ laps it. The engine and noise is far more satisfying as well. It would also not surprise me if the 3.2L NA V6 is far more bomb proof than the highly strung 2L modern equivalent.

    One of my daily drivers is 2008 VW R32 which I had modified at a company called New German Performance in Virginia. Added a Turbo, tuned, new suspension and now I am adding an advanced differential. Probably near 400HP. Car only has 34,000 miles on it. I call it my smile machine as it is just a hoot to drive and that sound mixed in with the spooling turbo!

When the front end washes out laterally does the Haldex respond, or mostly just if you try to put the power down on corner exit and get some wheelspin. Gotta say I never got bored heel-toe'ing my old GTI VR6 24v, even deep into 200k miles. Engine revs sounded glorious...
