Syncro de Mayonnaise: 2004 Volkswagen R32

Yesterday we celebrated Syncro de Mayo, DT’s May 5th celebration of Volkswagen’s four wheel drive system known as Syncro. Todays late entry into our symphony of synchronicity might not have used the Syncro name in its advertising literature, but the R32 Golf MkIV puts power from its VR6 engine into a haldex controlled center diff that’ll put power to the rear wheels when needed. It still maintains a certain degree front front-wheel-drive understeer, but judicious application of the throttle pedal will make the little boxy shaped Golf turn and squat like a Weimaraner in heat. Today’s example has a bunch of miles on the odo, but the price is right. Find this 2004 Volkswagen R32 offered for $12,500 in Burnsville, MN via syncrobash marketthing.
