Positive Review
I've owned this car for 4 years now with nearly 50k driven. The car never lets me down and always is a pleasure to drive. Maintenance cost is surprisingly low because it never has any issues, just the usual wear and tear items. The car is extremely practical being that it's a hatch. Build quality is so much better then anything in it's class, the driver's seat is a great place to be. I'd recommend this car to just about anyone that can drive a manual!

6 speed manual all wheel drive good acceleration

have a five door Mk4 R32 find it more convenient then the 3 door for my use. Being a pensioner will be my last car and cant think of a better car for comfort, reliability, safety and that feel good factor. Has the goodies coil overs, cat back, graphite alloys and to the casual observer is just another hatchback but to R32 lovers is a drop dead gorgeous car that they would love to own. Keep up the maintenance and these cars will go forever.
Sounds incredible and drivers even better
Oem parts are hard to find
It’s easily one of the coolest cars there is. To most people it’s just another golf or just another Volkswagen, but to the people that know what it is, the all wheel drive vr6 powered monster, know it’s much more than just a golf. I think the mk4 looks better than the mk5 and you get the 6 speed manual transmission, a true drivers car!
The sound of a VR6 is unmistakable.
If you get the TRed the paint will flake off.
This car has driven me around the country a few times. From California to Georgia and the smiles per gallon stayed at around 30mpg while sitting at 80mph. It's not the fastest car in a straight line but around the corners it can keep up with the greatest.

2004 golf R32 and vr6 Corrado is my two favorite cars , and yes I own both of them
Power to weight ratio = speed. Nice when needed.
Burns premium gas; 24 city, 27 hiway
Very few cars can touch this performance. Glued to the road with upgraded AWD. Manual 6-speed transmission. All leather interior. Many extras. TLC.
Exceptional handling in stock form.. great classic looks, 3.2 V6 AWD, One of the best sounding exhaust note..you'll ever hear, Seats awesome , The only negative is parts are expensive, insurance is not the cheapest for a 15yr old car.
classic
All-wheel drive, German engineering, iconic R.
Fit and finish is subpar, squeaks and rattles.
Start with the Koenig leather racing seats. The mark 4 R32 Golf is the best looking hot hatch on the market. Dual exhaust that has a nice purr. Climatronic automatic air, heated seats, rain sensor, cruise control, 6 speed manual. Plenty of combined torque and horsepower make this car fun to drive. R logo in the front and rear seat, stainless steel foot pedals with R logo. 60/40 split rear seats.
