Used Volkswagen Golf R

Volkswagen’s no stranger to hot hatchbacks, with the evergreen GTi spearheading the brand’s performance offerings. However, in 2003, VW spiced the Golf GTi and debuted the Golf R32 MK4, with a stonking 3.2-litre VR6 engine, good for 241hp to all four wheels. This was followed by the R32 MK5, which ended up being rebranded as the Golf R in 2010 with the MK6 generation.

The sonorous VR6 motor gave way for a new 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder which sent 270hp to all four corners. 0-62mph came up in a sports car rivalling 5.7 seconds. In 2014, Golf R MK7 launched pushing the envelope even further with 300hp! Fast forward to today, the Golf R has attained a cult following, thanks to its sheer speed and a capability. This is a car that you can drive daily in all weather conditions with four seats and a boot, while also showcasing performance that is usually reserved for more expensive cars. Currently the Golf R MK8 can do 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds. As a used buy, a VW Golf R might just be all the car you’ll ever need.

Pros

Rapid performance that is easily accessible
Practical and spacious
AWD capability

Cons

Inert steering feel
Low speed ride can feel choppy
Too capable for its own good
