If it is just 32K, that would be a big surprise. I bet it'll be closer to 40. The original R32 was 29 without options back in 2004; the subsequent Mk. VI R32 was pushing 36, IIRC. Hell, you can get a GTI near or above 30K these days if you tick the right boxes.

Is 36-40K for this car crazy? Not really. It exists in a category basically all its own; in the states, at least, it doesn't have any competitors. The WRX and Evo are rolling penalty boxes on the inside compared with this; the Mazdaspeed3 a bit less so, but it's FWD only and doesn't have the luxury kit this car would have.
