Reviews of the 2008 Volkswagen R32

CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 Volkswagen R32 delivers more power and better handling than you would expect from a hot hatchback, and it is a fine-looking car.
The Bad: iPod integration is a hack, using the stereo's CD changer port, and so not able to show song information. Worse, iPod integration, included with the subpar navigation system, takes away the six-disc changer.
The Bottom Line: The poor cabin electronics in the 2008 Volkswagen R32 keep it from being a great tech car, but its drivetrain tech makes up somewhat for that lost ground. However, there are many good sport sedans that come in around the same price.
