I have heard only good things from them. but for the power they are a little porky.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

 sorry ... my bad... was referring to the Golf R32... should have
been more specific...
were they still called a skyline?? or did they drop that name for the GTR and R33/32?

A couple of friends of mine have the silver Mark 4 R 32's.
Great to drive, awesome quality,for the money I'd have one of these over a Subaroo any day!
Going for a test drive in the Mark 5 R32 tomorrow!

Drove the Mark 5 R32 today.....!!!!!
What a great car..! the DSG is sensational.! Launch mode is the most fun..!!
I love driving cars with nice manual g/boxes, but that DSG is the best for all round fun with the steering wheel paddle shift as well as the
tip-toinic shifter and when one is driving in town just slip it into drive.
It has the neat programme of blipping the throttle on the downshifts..!
I'd say if your lookin at one and you test drive, you'll be signing on the dotted line as soon as your back at the dealers.

I'm yet to see a Jap car live up to the hipe!
You'll find it'll be lacking in low down torque and when they have a comparison between the hot hatches, The Gti will be right with the Mazda in
straight line performance, but the VW will be better to drive and have far greater build quality.!

Far too heavy and not the performance for the money but thats not always important to buyers. Plus they really get shitty when an old Fasty chops them
silly at the lights :P
1971 Type 3 Fasty - EJ20T
I love 242HP sleepers. 
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 
UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list. |

And they would dust a R32 as well. I never said they were not quick....but it's the total package I look at. I'd have a R32 over Evo's or STI's
anyday! I'd save the dustin of Evo's and alike for my beetle.!!
