I currently have my Mk2 GTi & Mk5 Jetta. Neither of which does what I need them to!

So I started looking at cars that would cover the following requirements:-

Fast - VW - carry 5 of us plus dog - roof bars/box easily available - Sub £10K

Obviously i started looking at MK5 GTi/Ed30/Pirelli/R32's They would be an obvious step up from the Jetta. Plus I like how they go/stop/handle with a few subtle tweaks.

But all of the ones i've looked at locally are over priced junk, or have huge mileage - So i started looking further a field and almost bought an ex-police Superb V6 3.6.

But in the end I settled on this...........






I paid less than £4k for it. Its a 3.2 V6 DSG 4motion (Think of it as a mk5 R32 in a business suit!) The only options missing are the Xenon's, PDC & Sunroof. But to does come with flappy paddles.

Already fitted my stereo, wheels & had a custom exhaust made for it... Lots more to do as/when i sell my jetta & my Mk2. I maybe looking into a turbo or a charger....

AJP:
Can't be many better ways of hauling people around for less than 4k. Certainly got a bit of sleeper about it too.

Charge it and surpass the R36 ;-)

An R32 shooting Brake  :evilgrin:

A rare car by all reality. I like these, cool engine in a wagon.

I was in Sydney (Aus) last month and there's loads of these and more R36's than I've ever seen in the UK  :happy2: It's a petrol haven over there.

Enjoy the soundtrack  :happy2:

Polo6n1600i:
Selling my mk5 & mk2 will free up funds for more mods....

Just over 300 of these on the roads. Going to fit a few upgrades to the interior & exterior (mainly upgrade bits from other VW models) but induction kit (maybe Forge) is next on the list.

I think it needs a supercharger bolted to it  :driver:
