Volkswagen Golf R

Love the GTI but think it needs more power? Check out the Golf R, an all-out GTI derivative with a 256-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four, a six-speed manual, all-wheel drive, a specifically tuned chassis, beefier brakes, and a luxuriously appointed cabin. It’s the best Golf ever, and it’s offered in limited numbers to those who can justify its price premium over a base GTI.
