I don't have any numbers to hand on how much things have cost (I just look the other way and punch my pin number in ) but I'm well pleased with the R32 after 20k miles, to sum up...

Good
Really good high speed cruiser, big lazy V6 means you're in 6th pretty much everywhere.
Pretty much un-stickable even in the wet, puts all it's power down in anything but snow - it could handle another 100+hp no problem.
Comfy ride considering it's on 18" wheels, it doesn't rattle your teeth loose.
Launch control + 4wd + DSG mean's you're going to win most rounds of the traffic light GP
Exhaust note + pop's and bangs

Bad
It's a lard arse so it's got a bit of a V-Power addiction depending on how you drive it + not as quick as you'd think given the power it has.
The boot's only just big enough to get my racing gear in, it's full of diff!
The exhaust's are as big as they are to let the bricks of CO2 out the back, top tax bracket.
Servicing... bend over.
Gazebo's fall on it

It needs a new top mount bearing (it's got 48k on it now) but other than that it's been 100% reliable.


Those wheels really suit the car Bungleaio, very nice
