Not from Sport Auto who found it slow, as did AutoZeitung. It was found slower than its predecesor, and even the GTI if I'm not mistaken.

I'm sorry, but regardless from wich magazine, if they've really said so about R32 then for me it's a pure

Slower than GTI??? Please, give me a break, The most hardcore Golf ever, with very strong engine, great AWD and handling... Yeah right!

Re: Spy Pics: VW Passat R36

Autobild Oberschleben:

1:54,23 - 115,57 km/h - VW Golf IV R32
1:57.00 - 112,83 km/h - VW Golf R32 DSG

Sport Auto got similar results on the Nurburgring I belive, 0 to 200 was very disapointing.

That's would have been my first impression, but Sport Auto was first witch I've read, now this only confirms it.

Re: Spy Pics: VW Passat R36

Weight, added among others by the AWD.
This might help in some cases/tracks but not on others.
Also the DSG is only a usefull on upshifts, but it's just as slow as a regular manual on downshifts.

Yes, i know that car weights more with AWD, but this is the car with better suspension, stronger engine, better gearbox (than the one in R32 IV) and it's still 12 secs slower?!?
