I love it but I’m more of a MK3 vr6 gti type of guy. when they came out with the mk4 they made it more round and got rid of that sexy body line that ran from the front to the back
❤️
The R32 is great! I like my Golf R more, but it can never match the sound of the R32.
Do A "so you want a VW CC" !!!!
I spent all m money on the rims and tires
No exhaust clip, sad face. My favorite sounding vehicle ever
Same here.
my man
They did one bro
Same
Tup but really any VR with an exhaust can get that sound. I had an 02 VR with a 1552 exhaust and it was just as heavenly
"Let's talk about..." **my body gets ready for a phat trap beat**
Any one else get cuckolded by mid roll ads on some videos?
Ngl the beat for the intro is pretty fire...
Let's talk about *10 SECOND COMMERCIAL RIGHT ON THE DROP*

@Fleck +1
The 2004 model is an icon, the one that started it all. Raw power and immediate connection to the road is unlike anything currently selling. I expect them to greatly appreciate in the next 5 years.
spot on, they already raised so much.
My dad had one of those in gray and he just sold it because he didn’t use it enough, such a great car
My mk4 doesn’t smell like crayons and it’s rust free
@@oblivionPGW My 2.0 MK4 golf smelled heavily of crayons. Honestly anything under mk4 smells lile crayons.
oblivionmedia In Australia they’re called Bora’s and I had an 03 With 210,000 kms before i wrote it off :( but it never got the crayon smell or rust but was sure filled with a lot of unreliable plastic parts that would break but loved the 2.3l v5 engine :)
Lol I actually miss the crayon smell of MK4 Jetta. Don't miss the vacuum leaks of the 1.8t my God so many vacuum lines.
@@ChandlerBecker confirmed, owned a mk.2 and a mk.3 before ending up with the mk.4 i'm in now. The latter doesn't smell like crayons xD
Impossible
"We're not here to talk about the history"
*spends 75% of the video talking over history*
Yesssss. Ive been waiting for this one!!! As always, Alex’s execution didn’t disappoint.🙌🏼💪🏼
Mk5 R32 was manual in everywhere else than US
It was also available with the DSG in Europe but yes, mostly manual.
HOWEVER, they look shit...
The R32 reminds me of Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition and NFS: Underground.
You are literally everywhere , I run from Blackpanthaa to avoid you and you're here as well damn
@Newblood There was a r32 in most wanted?
@@gt131970 No, only the GTI model for 2005 nfs mw
@@gt131970 If anything, Audi A3 3.2 Quattro is the closest car to drive like a 1st gen Golf R32
"Junkyard fender" I felt that
Love the R32! For years no one outside the VW community would give this car the respect it deserves. Finally people are starting to learn more about this car and prices are going up! In the past 2 months 2 low mile R32 sold for over $60,000🤯. I actually started my TH-cam channel to spread the word about this car and show people what this car can be a fun car to own. Nice video as always guys👍🏻
Hello Andrew, knew ill find you here. Like me... anything r32 im there, lol yes i agree not much spotligh for vw r32s.
512460 lol if new R32 content comes out I’ll always be on top of it lol.
I bought mine 3 years ago. Since than the price has went up a few grand. It's the new Rallye Golf, but faster
@@friscostreetstories5403 yep I agree! The prices are going up pretty quick. Probably will slow in a few months but it’s nuts
Come test drive my GTI337 for a video then 🤷♂️
owned a MK5 R32 for over 3 years, sold it 3 months ago.
In the 3 years I've had it, I spent about 10k on body work to bring it back like new, and about twice that amount in mechanical work. I loved the car and the sound coming from the 3.2L coupled with a milltek cat-back was simply amazing! I was getting people to turn their heads and look at my car, every one loved it. But every good thing has an end.
The main reason I sold the car is probably that it was falling appart and I wanted to keep it mint, so I was always spending every single penny I had to keep it in perfect condition. I had to redo the chains which is comon on those model at arround 100k miles, thing is, i started hearing them again 20k miles later. I figured it might be the dual mass flywheel that had an issue and I might have been too agressive on the downshifts and loosened the chains over time, although that was never checked before the sell and is only speculations.
I had to spend about 6k in 3 months to keep it in good shape over the end of 2019 and the begining of 2020. Had to completly replace the haldex systeme that was full of clutch material for unknown reasons. Had to take off the valve cover because i had oil leaking on one of my spark plugs ( never heard of that one, guess it's pretty uncomon ). had a couple things I can't recall at this point.
The choice was fairly simple, I had spent half the prize of a new car ( after putting the sale of the R32 as downpayment ) in 3 months on repairs... I'll skip all the personnal details but in the end, had to make a choice and my wallet is probably going to thank me on the long run for not keeping the R32. I decided to change for a MK7.5 GTI which i have about 10k planned in modifications over the next 5 years and to this day I do not regret selling the car. Yes I am nostalgic some time, like when I watch this video.
In the end, I think that if you want to buy a R32, you better have deep pockets because parts are expensive and the car tend to break more often then not. You better be an enthusiast otherwise you won't see the need to keep it in good shape and will let it deteriorate and in the end won't see the benifit of keeping a car that is breaking down.
If you are both of those, I'm sure you will be happy with your R32! and if you stumble upon the MK5 1935/5000, give me a shout ;)
P.S. I have known personally 2 people that owned MK5 R32s like mine, one sold it because he had too many problems and ended up getting just as many on his new car ( probably the guy that is unlucky ) and the other one keeps it mint and has a turbo on it, races it 3 - 5 times a year tops... you do what you want with that info.
The oil on the spark plug is likely a blown PCV that's integrated in the rocker cover. How would I know? mine is doing the same thing lol. Just did the body last spring and added coilovers cause i had blown shocks and 2 broken springs on the passenger side. I was well aware of the body needing repairs when i bought it and it had been in a minor accident on said passenger side. As for the rest it hasn't been that bad on repairs as I approach 4 years of ownership, most of the interior has held up well no broken parts and the engine will be gone through when I have the chains replaced. My plans are to use it as a summer car and get a cheaper 2.0t for winter months and daily commute.
I'm glad I saw this. Had an urge to buy an R32 and was trying to justify spending so much on something that I know has issues over time. Now, I've came to the decision on getting a Mk7.5 Golf R or a built STI
Your comment is the reason I never pulled the trigger on buying one even though I was close. Now that a Golf R is $50K I'll probably never own one unless I get a steal on a MK6.
me: wearing headphones + maxed out volume
alex: HOT HATCHES WERE THE FUTURE.....
So grateful to have a MK5 R32 in my garage 💓
Is this the best hatch? Well yes. It is.
Most important thing to know before buying a R is that aftermarket parts are double the price of a GTI
And double the pleasure….
My request has been forfilled thank you FI for listening to the community. Your channel will get far if you continue on this path.
(Mk5 R32 owner)
I felt that "if you're one of the people trying to keep them alive im proud of you"
Thank you alex
The Vr6 is the LS engine of the VW/Audi world. So many ppl are getting these engines and swapping them in other flavors of VW/Audi. Which to me is awesome. 500-1200 hrsprs out of these motors can be a beautiful thing.
Respect for the video! Thanks for shouting out my car 🤘🏼 lucky to have her before prices jumped!
The build up and then the beat drop gave me goosebumps
My boosted MK5 R32 is absolutely amazing! 503bhp/592lb. Ft torque. Smoked a Yamaha R6 nicely. Built the engine in my kitchen 6 years ago and daily it all four seasons. Been surprisingly reliable!
Oh god that sound, I just LOVE the Golf V R32.
Yessss more MK4 content
Someone needs to buy the entire editing team a case of ramen cause got diggity damn do they NAIL these edits.
Please do 😭🙏🏼
Fitment Industries shit, yall DM me an address to send it and I will send a case of chicken, beef, and shrimp ramen. I gotchu guys.
You've been watching too much Manitowoc minute and I love every second of it! Say Hi to the folks for me.
My favorite part of every video is the sweet glistening hot ponies being shown, and that head bobbing bass dropping someones aunt off because the night is for night antics in your modded out ride type beat.
Just recently bought a r32 mk5 lmao now there’s a video 🔥🔥
Welcome hows it going soo far ive had mine for a year
I'll say again, "So you want a Toyota starlet GT turbo" please these JDM tiny hatches needs more love.
This or a Nissan Pulsar would be good options
Thanks for making this video :)
i recently got one and i love it !! she def had her fair share of problems but i cant get enough
Had mine for about 16 years - it’s very clean also has the cloth seats
Thank you for the history lesson Alex and I love the shirt got both colors !! Another great video though 🔥‼️
Appreciate it!!
Yeah, this is finally a car that I want to own one day. Or at least something that has a VR6, that sound alone is a purchase reason for me.
Better get one soon, they becoming more rare these days.
They're actually becoming more common than ever...Go buy a bubbly SUV if you want one. An Atlas.
@@acefighterpilot sadly not here in Australia they aren't :( I've only seen one in last 3 years.
@@bodycountplays2915 Shame. Touareg?
@@acefighterpilot yeah they are.
I love my r32, everyone trashes the mkV but it's still a fun and quick car. Luckily got mine from the south with 49k miles on it and I'm the 2nd owner and the thing is mint and rust free. My dad has a mkIV r32 with 220k miles on it still running strong and all the rust taken care of. Such great cars, I don't plan on ever selling it
I finally bought myself a mk5 r32 a couple of months ago, dream car since I was a teen🥵
Mk4 is much better.. the real OG
love the vid, please do one about the golf R
Currently listening to the intro on max volume, vibing so hyped
The MK4 R32 , my favorite car ever made and that will never change . Such a beautiful car . dUbLiFe 4 life
I think it’s awesome that you guys used
My car as a cover photo for your video !!
Hoooo boy, finally a So You Want on the R32! Would love to see a full So You Want on the Golf R/S3 follow this up!
My budget is Octavia RS (I hope one day), but dream car is R32, always was. And your video is ridiculous great, extremely good, voice, edit, jokes, all.
love your videos 👍
Wow. That little rant in the start, particularly the “that one looks pretty damn good from 10ft away” beautifully summarized Mk4 ownership
The build of hype in the intro was reaaaal
Awesome content as usual... love these cars 🚙 VW
I love both of mine !
I was honestly looking for a R32 last week!
No Way I was just scrolling on Facebook 10 minutes ago and seen one for sale then this pops up...
i love watching a video with Alex
Finally got my R32 Jan '19 and couldnt be happier. DBP > All
Please do a video on the best cool wagons to get. Wagons need more love :)
Day 23 of asking FI for a "So you want a geo metro" video.
MAKE IT HAPPEN ALEX!
"So you want a Swift GLX" is a good idea2
Be original with your comments
I had one... and I can tell you I do NOT want another one. Would be a good vid though.
Only if it is slight modified and has three speeds, here, there, and gone
Did yall read my mind I'm researching about them now because my boy at back yard boyz got one and I'm in love with it
I love the Hot Hatch game!!!
So you waaaaaaaaaant! Best part of the channel 🙌🏻
Quick scoping with an intervention on rust 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The last R32 auctioned off on BringATrailer sold for 62K and had only 1800 miles. There are some fine examples still to be had out there but at a cost. If you're going to talk about the R32 you could have thrown a couple of exhaust sound clips in'der ya know, it's the most iconic thing about this whip.
I’m the original owner of my MK4 R32 and it still puts a smile on my face. The MK4 R32 was the very first car to be equipped with the DSG.
Any dsg problems till date?
As a MKV owner, the rust jokes hurt me, but I can't complain about that VR. The noise is the only reason I own the damn thing - 2091
Im a mk5 owner (i still break my neck for mk4s) however i just wanted the 2nd gen shape and it has a few more up to date bits.
@@512460 Imo the only fault of the MKV is no manual option. Breaks my heart.
I got a mk4 with zero rust on it 😁
@@nathanielhathaway7670 it hurts to see other people live your dreams 😭
That is honestly my dream car
the mk4
I bought a 2004 brand new off the showroom floor. Red. Owned it for 12 years and 160k Miles. Very few issues with it. Did a bit of racing with it and that entire time never had to replace the clutch. A couple corrections to your info... 2004 did not come with HIDs. Also, the standard seats were cloth, leather seats were an option (which is what most of them were). Such a fun car. Wish I still had it!
One guy in our club has one pushing over 550 HP and let me tell you I’m in love with the R32
You guys rule I’m working on my mk4
Crazy my dad bought one in 04 from vw, our family raced it for years.after buying it from the family, now I daily drive it at 178k on the clock! My favorite car! I mean if I ever find a crashed one its heart and soul are going into my tdi beetle
Iconic.
you guys should do a video on the VW CC, such a underated car, would love to see that video!!
My dream car will own one soon
Best sounding and best gti ever imo
Bought a North American mk5 r32 for only $11,500 with 180,000 km like 3 months ago and it was so much fun I decided to import one from Japan with 63,000 km for 12,500 full price to get to where I live. It’s a right handed drive so hopefully it’s not to big of a difference but my friends have been calling me dumb for “wasting” my money but I truly think these cars are investments and will be totally worth it when I’m older and hopefully still have them lol
Times like this I love Australia, we got a manual mk5 and cuz the dry weather there don’t ten to have rust
I remember those low sub early days around here. I have been here for a while. Sadly I am in those low sub early days lol
8:53 is where the video technically starts.
Meanwhile im sitting here with my manual MK5 R32. But I searched long for a manual even in Germany. Love it 👌🏻
Love these videos can you do charger or challenger trim lvls and not them as a hole
Do you guys have any cool wheels for the mk4?
Alex is the reason that I subbed to this channel. Bro, you had me laughing so hard at the beginning cuz it was like how I feel about people buying SUVs instead of hot hatches was coming out of your mouth 😂
We appreciate that support fam!!! Happy you enjoyed the vid!!! 😂🙏🏼
Alex makes this channel 🔥
Is it possible to easily convert Haldex to RWD like you can with a Subie?
Def dig an r32! An 04 is my favorite! Would love to drop that motor and awd into my 98 vr6 gti
I so regret selling mine a couple of weeks ago 😭 sure I will end up getting another
Didn't get the vw frenzy till I got my MKV GLI, I want a R32 so bad
Still want one!!!
An ad before the bass dropped after he said “you want to own an R32..” literally ruined it.
I have a red one original owner with 70k miles. Still super fresh and fast as always 😎
About time! Of course it’s done after I stop asking for it tho! 😂
I just bought a mk2 Scirocco. You should do that next
Daaaaym, i just bought a Mk4 just in 1.9 TDI 110 HP just because I found one in mint condition yesterday and then this video is posted.
I have an A32 it's an 2007 Audi A3 3.2 quattro but it's a mk5 R32 underneath I love it I have high flow cats and I put a mk6 golf r muffler so I got that center exit baby
I be john brown if there aint a silver R32 gti that passes my job everyday that i swear sounds like a porsche/ferrari mix and i flat out love it!
It looks good with a fitment industries logo on the tailgate window
Just bought one in tornado red 3 weeks ago on airlift 3p and 3sdm wheels it’s the new daily and my 07 sti being my project car
SO MANY CHOICES FOR CARS!!!!!
Do the C30 next or any P1 model for Volvo PLS!. We had a wagon, Sedan, Coupe, and Hatch in 1 lineup!
In Europe we got the mk2 with a manual gearbox. We have one with 32k miles on it. Daily driven. No rust 👊🏻👊🏻

Dope ass intro for a dope ass car!!
Love my R32
Please say that the mk5 was avaible as a manuel outside north america
My dad had an 04 R32
It had roughly 330 horsepower and 18 inch RH cups it was so sick
I wanted this car for SOOO long!!!
Now I want a Vr6 swapped S4 Avant
