My son got a new mini monster

I just noticed that yours is the four door, it's the exact same color as my sons 2dr '08, love that color. Is yours the R32? I know my son would have preferred a 4dr car as he likes the extra room. Its amazing how small of a car the 2 doors are. I have been joking with him that it's like a car only smaller. Lol But does pack a big punch for its size.

R32 was built first in 2004 and only came in 2 door with a 6 speed manual and Vr6 engine. In 2008 it was an R32 and paired with a Vr6 engine but automatic transmission. In 2012 it was renamed a Golf R and you could get a 2 door or 4 door. 2016 and only 4 doors were available and they are produced yearly.

IMO 2004 is the best year. I have had an 04 R32 and the blue one above was a 2017 Golf R with a 6spd manual.
