MK4 R32 IS THE BEST SOUNDING GOLF VW EVER MADE

My first attempt at a review / buying guide ft. my old 5 door Volkswagen MK4 Golf R32, remapped at around 270BHP over the standard 240BHP with a Miltek exhaust and Koni adjustable suspension. One of my favourite cars I've owned.
P.S. Apologies for having to re-dub the intro, the wind noise was a killer and I only had in camera audio.

Possibly unpopular opinion, the MK4 Golf has aged the best out of all versions. Believe it or not the MK4 came out 26 years ago! It still doesn’t look particularly old fashioned and you still see loads of them on the road. The styling was considered a bit boring and plain at the time but it’s aged well. Interior too with the relatively high transmission tunnel, not common at the time but all modern cars have it.

[@LorolinAstori]

Owner of one for 17 years. Best car ever built in my humble opinion And btw, never had any issue at all with my black leather seats until I ripped the driver side this year. So, no issues over 16 years is pretty good with a car of 140k miles

[@TheShrugLife]

I've had an Evo X, GC STi, 370Z, and an E92 M3, but this... This car I miss the most by far. I never should've sold you 😭

[@AJ_AJ-AJ-AJ_AJ]

I've never owned a car that makes me smile so much as my mk4 R32 and I don't think I ever will.

[@fredjones5327]

Absolutely NOTHING better than that VR6 sound!!! Wow

[@jonathonbrett-qn1ic]

The Golf R32 mk4 or mk5 are unreal puts a smile on my face every time I drive mine Love the interior on your that’s quite rare Great video great channel

[@chrisng9582]

Good review man but can barely hear you talking!

[@kevinvandorst]

I prefer the golf V R32 over the IV R32, but yeah, they are amazing!

[@hotrodaallbbaa2343]

IMO the generation VW ever they look fat to me.

[@garymathe9863]

Good video, but I need to add a few things. The 3 door Version of any golf looks so much better IMO. Sagging doors? Never seen them, and I currently have a mk4 GTI with 150k miles and had a mk5 as well. Also a VR6 can produce an amazing sound that's not like the rattle can in this video. I have a 3.6 CC with Magnaflow mufflers and it has a deep rumble like a V8, without all that rasp that makes your neighbors want to kill you. The timing chain is another thing. On the 24v cars it usually doesn't need replacement at all, certainly not at 100k. There are plenty out there that have 200k on the original chain. Change the oil at least every 5k and don't treat it badly. These are super solid cars.

[@thatguyreviews2137]

Agree with everything you say but I have a 3 door 170k miles GTI and my drivers door is sagging have to slam it to shut it properly door lock catches the pin on the inside so hes somewhat right lol

[@zeus5298]

Beautiful car, always been my favourite since they were made.

[@saboorshafiq1490]

One of my favourites reviews, this video solidified my decision to buy one

[@Westyy5493]

I like the different trim over the coil pack wiring!❤️👍

[@camiloallen174]

@Imran Chandler thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@camiloallen174]

@Imran Chandler It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass !

[@imranchandler1083]

@Camilo Allen glad I could help =)

[@stevesje71]

Great review, 3 door shell is also more ridged than the 5 door. I’ve never had door sag on any mark 4 cars and I’ve had loads. That said, my current mark 4 R32 only has 7k miles from new. Cheers

[@danielmay3234]

7k!? Wow keep her!

[@elzerry5923]

How much u want?

[@LangersVW]

great review ive just done one for my channel they are absolutely awesome i sooooo want one wish i brought one a few years back when prices were lower :/ all the best Langers

[@autofiras]

I’m subscribed. I really appreciate ur work. This channel needs more views

[@dspowart1]

good video ive had mine 8 years every time i went to sell her she gives me a reason not to 51,000 miles standard car with millteck cat back in tornado red i dont do big miles so can justify it but sadly a golf R forces sale this summer but its taking a golf R to do it theres nothing quite like it out there

[@gaspack4395]

Do you still have this beast of a car 3 years later?

[@MIXXII03]

broo, i never seen a 5 door in a yt video... thats lit, there like 500 or so produced...

[@Lewis_Treff97]

I'm 22 this year and got a new job this year which means I only need to drive 10 mins to get the train and back. So tempted to get a decent low mileage one of these in the summer and sell my diesel Fabia Monte Carlo 😂

[@LorolinAstori]

3rd gear, around 3800-4300rpm is sublime

[@harrylee833]

from my local VW dealer - can see the Martins sticker in the back window

[@lukew67]

That seat at 6:10 punched it as you went to overtake them haha

[@conconr322]

And got smoked lol

Nice cruise in denby dale , im just in the process of buying too, hope im not disapointed.

[@abizzle100]

I fell out of love with Golfs after the Mk II. 16v Mk II in oak green or a G60 Rallye for me ✅

[@JDBUTTO]

If you’re local to Halifax come down to sa motors hx39eu we are vag specialists and do remapping

[@786hunzavalley]

Hi, nice video. How to get a classic car insurance? Are these r32 comes into classic cars? Road tax is also very high.

[@69bock69]

road tax is very low for what it is

[@evenbjranesset344]

Nice video, but there is something wrong with the audio.

[@FabioSkull]

🔥

[@garethmilner5576]

How did u go about m.o.t with it been decat pal

[@johnstorms3324]

Nice review! Thanks

[@stuart_wood]

Great video and great car mate. I am looking at getting one with 252k KM on the clock. the rear diff is binding at lower speeds, could be rear clutches not slipping when they re supposed to. Any other worries that I should be aware of? thanks!

[@OLLIEHEELANDTOE]

Thanks for watching... Personally I'd steer away from that, sounds like it could be a money pit, and that's a lot of KM!

[@fastdays_1]

This car costs a lot in maintenance...I mean, you can be lucky but even with low mileage cars do not underestimate the amount of money that you'll throw in it for random parts that can fail (and they fail), just listing some: fuel pump, various electric parts, Haldex ecu or rear diff parts (quite a nightmare if something breaks), engine vents, belts, AC compressor and other bits and pieces. VW parts do not come cheap and most dealers don't have the experience to work (or better to troubleshoot) on these so go to a specialist if you can. I loved mine indeed but just do the math before buying as it's not an 80s car that you fix with a hammer.

[@felixyoungmoney7824]

Nice car

[@landrover3596]

Aside from the Golf 16V MK2, The next and last best sounding Golf is the MK4 GOLF R32.

[@syrusbark]

Mate great review but, get your voice volume up. You will get more subscribers if you are arsed

[@ivokapps2195]

I WANA KNOW THE NAME OF THAT ARTIST OF MUSIC STARTING

[@brankojankovic589]

najbolji zvuk ima Golf 4 V6 crveno 4motion sa najvecim zadnjim loncem fabrickim.Na leru i do 2000 obrtaja je dubok zvuk a kad ga cepas vristi kao ferari. R32 ima dobar zvuk ali je dublji. I bez ljutnje,ukusi su razliciti. Ali smoje strane je realno.

[@markquartley4677]

Badges are in wrong place rear to high and to far to the left - front badge on wrong Clip on grill needs moving to the left

[@G1CHO]

How has this guy not lost his license?

[@M-PASTA]

spacers don't mess with your diff 🤦‍♂️

[@InCountry6970]

You state that the R you are reviewing is sixteen years old.Mine is identical, but if you add sixteen years to an 03 MKIV, that would mean it is now 2019. What gives ??

[@OLLIEHEELANDTOE]

BakerOne the car featured is a 2002, this was made in 2017. You do the maths...

[@M2CS88]

Very nice video bro

[@johnc4144]

saggy 3 doors? Really?

[@conconr322]

What's up with 3 doors?

[@mannimmond8600]

I thought German streets are bad😳

[@Cr1ptlord]

30 mpg ? Impossible, my tdi 66kw on 225/45r17 does like 35 mpg city

[@lukew67]

Makrinus this is 30mpg in England the mpg system UK uses is different to the USA

[@69bock69]

r32 will do 35mpg on a run

[@conorf8091]

How it feels driving a 1.4 mk4 with a hole in the exhaust hahaa

[@weeman860wee6]

its not a v6 buddy its a vr6 dig difference.

[@OLLIEHEELANDTOE]

Terribly loud exhaust note. Such a shame....

[@peterbutler5335]

Sounds like a shed

[@peterbutler5335]

@@seventeesweremagic yeah okay, jealously.. 🤔

[@tijnsnijders]

music waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too loud, speach way too low. Stopped watching because of this. Shame.

[@kmack5799]

I do like these and its a sure fire classic but they are all show and no go. The average diesel will outpace one of these nowadays so its hard to justify the fuel consumption...

[@OLLIEHEELANDTOE]

I kind of agree, my friends new 320D Touring BMW feels AS FAST but I would say though that the exhaust noise makes up for it.

[@swansmeister]

I have a tt gen 1 with the same engine and murder my friends bmw 535d, funny cause we both have matching hp numbers, i got 271hp and he has 272hp but almost double the torque and still I fuck him from standing still and rollin so ur claim is bullcrap imo. And then we are not even talking an average diesel but a beast of a diesel.

[@kottyking]

I got high flow cats, milltek non res, k and n air intake, and ecu reflash. Right around 270 as well. Sure its not the fastest thing in the world but its quick.

[@swansmeister]

Ryan No Thanks If I would have wanted the fastest I would have bought a 1.8 turbo and have it tuned to 400hp or even more but the vr6 has so much more character, so much better sound and power delivery, it makes me smile every day and thats more important then anything.

[@HatsuneM1ku01]

swansmeister turbo the vr and it will out perform the 1.8 in every way

[@BenClarkMedia]

Can’t hear a fecking word you’re saying
