2008 Volkswagen Golf R32 reviews

Volkswagen Golf R32 2008

I loved this car to drive. The exhaust note was addictive, the fuel economy was better than I expected and with a very light foot was quiet exceptional! The bad points were the fuel tank was far to small. The big bad point that drove me totally mad and made me get rid of it in the end was the sat nav! Because you can’t put a whole post code in you were totally unable to get nearer than 20 miles sometimes when in rural UK. Not acceptable for £1850. The other thing was tyre wear was excessive, 6000 to 10,000 miles and £300 plus a tyre. Reliability? Not good! Broken A/c which in the end the whole system was replaced before the car had done 15,000 miles. Also the power steering failed. Alloy wheels get pitted quickly and the build quality of interior was below what you would expect from VW. The dealer was also just a box shifter and got the wrong spec for my car! No sunroof or powered mirrors, also did not inform me of fixed price service details. So I would not recommend Breeze VW in Poole. Over all now it has been gone a year do I miss it? In the winter, in snow? Definitely not! But over all? Well, I have to say a big yes I do!
