Either a Golf GTI on steroids or a more affordable Audi S3 in hatchback configuration, the Volkswagen Golf R is a 328-horsepower pocket rocket that sprints from 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, according to the manufacturer. Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine is paired with all-wheel drive and a sharp seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Remember, the manual gearbox was discontinued last year. At that time, the Golf R also gained a Black Edition.
