R32 cars I like from VW.
I bet 95 out of 100 jetta owners would swap it for a 3 series in a heart beat, even though the new 3 is disgusting looking.

there are good and bad things about every car
I never had an R32, but I owned an S4 (B5), M-Coupe and a Cooper S before purchasing my JDM EVO IX. They were all great cars in their own rights and I still remember and miss certain aspects of each.
The low down torque & interior of the S4
The flowless power delivery and intimacy of the M-Coupe
The go cart feeling, easy parking and oh soooo predictable handling of Cooper S
There were also negatives about each car:
S4 was pig heavy and the power died (big time) in higher rpms
M-coupe had a decade old suspension and small space
Cooper S was just too cute for me and did not have much power
I bought my Evo 9 four months ago and love it as a machine. It is the best 'drivers car' that I owned so far. But I still remember the good points of each of my cars - interior of S4, engine and intimacy of M-Coupe and the predictable handling of the Cooper S
I think that we should all be thankfull to live in a time where there are sooo many good choices for us motor heads Happy motoring

Lowering the Evo and some big 18x9.5 wheels make a big difference in terms of appearance.
Heck, just lowering it and getting rid of the SUV ride height makes it look good.

Umm... a IX can't make 300whp with just a flash. This thread is really forgetting the difference between crank listed values and "wheel horse power". Yes the car makes 280 at the crank stock, but that translates to much less at the wheels. You won't get 65WHP from a flash.
