Thoughts on the R32?
On paper, it sounds great. And the Edmunds review supported what I would suspect. I need to go drive one.
I know JST drove one and I recall his comments to me about it. But I am not deterred. The only deterrant (at this point - without having driven it myself yet) is price. On paper, we've got a small, AWD hatch (with some practicality in the back) with 240 HP and a 6-spd manual tranny. It's a little heavy, but it's also comfortable, well-appointed and handsome, inside and out. I am going to make a point to drive one soon, but I'm also looking for comments from you guys. |
When Jeremy Clarkson says it's an old fart car, that tell me that it's probably a little too boring.
But then, I said that to you last weekend. |
But I AM an old fart.
And, yes, I know what you all said in person. I'm fishing for second opinions. It's just so very right on paper that I want to believe it's that good in real life. |
totally underwhelming for the money. even at $25,000 it's totally underwhelming.
but, it is $30,000 and the bar is too high right now. i doubt it handles with any of the sharpness that any of "us" like. |
So what are the non-ricer alternatives at $30K?
Part of the appeal to me is the all-weather commuting ability with AWD. And I don't want a FWD car as my primary vehicle. What else gives me AWD in an enthusiast package without rice for $30K? |
