m3ev0 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hi all, Thinking of getting an .:R32 and just wondered about a few things: Is there a particular colour which is worth going for? What are the best looking alloys? How much is the average service? Whats the average MPG? Top speeds you have gotten out of it.. Any other things to look out for will be most appreciated. Thanks all.

m3ev0 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Forgot to say that it will be the Mark V and not the brand new R32... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrakeSnake Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Are you referring to the first edition, MkIV R32, or the one currently in production (the brand new one as of 18months ago) the MkV? Are you buying second hand or ordering new? There are no other R32's out there. Welcome to TSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsclzcd Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hi mate, I used to have an R32 MKIV. Was in silver but I think the light blue looks fantastic, really shows the car off well. Mine was on longlife services, had it for 35k and had its first service around 18k, think it cost me around £220 plus £30(ish) for a brake fluid change. I live in the country so only got between 18 - 22mpg. Having said that my new GTI is only averaging 24 - 26mpg on the same type of runs. As for top speeds, you can get them up to around 150mph (standard car). Where the law permits of course... Hopes this helps! Post some pics up when you get it!

Rocket_Man Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 1. Standard alloys or BBS CHs IMO. 2. Deep blue pearl is the best and fastest colour! 3. Servicing... Between £200-£300 dependant on the service due and the dealer location 4. MPG 24-32 depending on driving and road. I get 28-30MPG for normal (legal) mostly motorway driving (i do very little town driving), and 18-24 for "fun" trips around A/B roads. 5. Standard R32's will do 150-160 (some are slightly better than others), modified cars can get 175+ (there's videos floating round). The best thing you can do is read as much of this site as possible for things to look for. There are some common faults which can be found on a good inspection, but there are others (cheese sprockets) that can't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
