2006 Volkswagen Golf

This auction has been re-listed due to the previous winning bidder being unable to complete the transaction.

SB has always had a soft spot for modern classic hot hatches and few capture that essence better than a MK5 Golf R32. Its timeless design and engaging driving dynamics continue to attract enthusiasts and drivers who appreciate a combination of performance and everyday usability. We're delighted to bring to the platform just such an example, offered from long-term ownership (the seller is the 2nd owner having acquired the vehicle in 2011) and a low Reserve. Under the bonnet the R32 houses a 3.2-liter VR6 engine that delivers an impressive 247 horsepower to all four wheels through Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system that is coupled to an engaging 6-speed manual gearbox. This combination ensures exhilarating acceleration and excellent traction, making it a joy to drive on both winding roads but docile enough to manage everyday commutes with grace. The refined suspension provides a balanced ride for both applications, managing to offer a comfortable and smooth experience without compromising on the sporty handling that enthusiasts seek. Visually, the R32 stands out with its unique touches, including 18-inch alloy wheels, dual exhaust tips, and subtle but distinct R32 badging. The supportive front seats, adorned with the R32 logo, provide a comfortable yet secure seating position. This particular example has been with the seller for the last 12 years, using it as their daily to ferry the kids to school and for weekends away. This R32 is an honest example that is ready to be deployed as the perfect ULEZ-exempt daily driver yet could, should the next owner so choose, benefit from some minor visual improvements if their aim is to showcase an R32 at any weekend scramble. The owner - this vehicle's 2nd - is available to answer any questions via the Comments section below. Buyers should bid with complete confidence.

Presented as an honest example of this much lauded hot hatch, here is your opportunity to acquire an R32 that boasts low ownership with scope to make the car a real eye turner at any weekend car show should the next owner choose. As it is currently, this Golf R32 is ready to be enjoyed by the next owner as the ultimate all-in-one vehicle; a practical ULEZ exempt daily driver and sporty weekend getaway car. Buyers should bid with complete confidence.
