Volkswagen Golf R

Price $49,195 – $50,595
Fuel consumption 7.7 – 11.8 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 83%(view ratings)
Take the Golf GTI, add a sophisticated all-wheel drive system and juice up the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. What do you get? The 315-horsepower Golf R, that’s what. Drivers love its 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.3 seconds as much as the available Drift mode. On the other hand, many complain about the stiff ride on rough pavement. Inside, pretty much everyone will agree that Volkswagen’s infotainment system is a pain to use.
