Had a modified mk iv r32.
4wd makes car heavy and without an upgraded 4wd controller they tend to feel very front wheel drivey.
Power feels lacking a bit, got mine to 288bhp which as about as much as you’ll see without forced induction.
However, i have driven a 500+bhp one with said 4wd controller upgrade and a small suspension tweaks and the chassis handled it very well.
Timing chain issues are very rare, but if they go it is expensive, new chains and guides don’t always solve the problem. Mine had new engine under warranty at 50k miles, but i have only heard of 3 cars having the issue out of hundreds.
I do miss mine a lot, but they are a completely different car to a scoob, hence why i had both. Really you beed to get in and drive one.
